Blessed Are the Cheesemakers

Rating:
Summary: Blessed are the readers
Review: This novel is a must for anybody who loves cheese, life, people, or the word "fecking". The characters, somewhat aloof at first (save Corrie and Fee, they're grandfathers to the bone) quickly wrap you around their stories. Kit, a New Yorker who gets kicked out of the rat race, draws you into the drama concerning his ex-wife and the child they lost. Abbey makes the move from a "primitive" island in the south pacific back to Ireland to search out the mystery of why her mother hates her grandfather. Their stories, and that of the half dozen singing pregasaurs, pull you into this book so far you can smell the cheese as it transforms from milk to curd, and you can feel the cool air as it seeps from the curing caves.
