The Homecoming of Bubbles O’Leary

The Tour Series, Book 4

De: Jean Grainger

Narrado por: Siobhan Waring

A luxury stay in an Irish castle, a handsome, experienced tour guide, and a secret that has never been revealed.

Life as manager of the magnificent resort of Castle Dysert on Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast is never dull, and Conor O’Shea’s life to date has taught him to be prepared for the unexpected. Even he however, is not ready for the gang from Bubbles O’Leary’s bar in New York. A motley crew, from spinster sisters of a certain age, to exhausted social workers, they are all in Ireland for one reason. The fact that this bunch of unusual people arrive during Ireland’s biggest matchmaking festival just adds to the intrigue. But is everyone who they say they are? Are all their motives pure? Conor is ready to do his best to show the visitors his beloved Ireland, but his personal life takes a devastating turn and he finds himself torn, unsure how to proceed. Is the past best left there, or is there redemption to be found in opening old wounds?

Wise and witty, heart-warming and deeply satisfying, Jean Grainger takes us once more on an unforgettable trip to the Emerald Isle. The Homecoming of Bubbles O’Leary is the fourth book in The Tour Series.

A new “Tour” visits Ireland

It was fun to return to Ireland to visit Connor, his family and friends with a new quirky tour group. As with all the books in the tour series, there is a lot going on: romance, crime, illness… Siobhan Waring’s performance makes the characters come to life.

Lovely story

I love hearing bits and pieces of towns and villages and the way is the Irish lore. The kind with the donkey ears was a new one for me

Loved the whole series

If you are Irish or have that heritage please read any Grainger books. Well written and read.

Another great Conner story

Loved all the characters, the house , Ireland , and the narrator. I can get lost in these stories ! Going now to look for another :)

A beautiful view of flawed humanity

I don’t know how Miss Grainger does it, but she manages to take the most difficult times in peoples' lives and surrounds them with love, forgiveness and acceptance. This is a story of Bubbles, a bartender in New York, who left his beloved Ireland and opened a bar and built a beautiful community of misfits who found a place where they could be comfortable and accepted . Upon his death, the patron-friends take his ashes to spread in Ireland. There they meet Connor and his family and fall in love with Ireland. Connor‘s wife has cancer, and Connor‘s father returns with his ill brother. The characters are filled with lots of love and drama. A beautiful and satisfying ending. I love how Miss Grainger weaves in our old friends from past books. As always, fabulous narrator.
