A book club that’s been going strong for almost twenty years (with its own profile in the New York Times) hosted me last night with a multi-course Irish-themed dinner complete with soda bread, clotted cream, Guinness stew and (of course) potatoes. Bridey would have loved it. As the Jameson’s and conversation flowed, what an honor it felt to be there and to watch my characters come alive at the table.
