Beth Lordan wrote But Come Ye Back: A Novel in Stories. This delicate piece of fine writing tells the story of Lyle and Mary's marriage. After raising two sons and entering retirement age Lyle and Mary decide to move to Ireland, Mary's home. Relationships change in a new environment and the author gets this idea across in her subtle and exquisite style of story telling. This wonderful story is short and easy to read. Someday I'd like to travel to Ireland and stay over in a town, walk on the promenade, see the tide come and go, stop at the grocery store and the chemist. I just might see a couple like Lyle and Mary walking their dog before heading home for tea and biscuits.
