She Has the Right of It: An Irish-American Story

by Mark G Schneider

Starting off as a seemingly innocent, humorous story of growing up Irish Catholic in the Midwestern United States in the 1950s, She Has the Right of It soon winds into a tale of intrigue and romance stretching through the turbulent '60s. Then, in 1970, Mark Gallagher and Molly Doherty venture to Ireland, where a stunning conclusion to the first part of their lives awaits. Beautifully intertwined with the discovery of heroic ancestors-unsung women who fought valiantly for Irish Independence before coming to America in the early 20th century-this true-to-life coming of age adventure will bring you tears of laughter, joy and sorrow, and perhaps, by journey's end, a glint of Irish wisdom.

[Britta · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a delightful, unpretentious novel written in a way like you’re listening to the author tell the story over a glass or two of whiskey. A great piece of Americanah.
