(mom) Hannah Keefe (dad) Declan Gallagher Since I did it though, I'll try to recreate here, in an upside-down fashion: Initially I felt like I needed a family tree so I sketched one out, but it really wasn't needed. It didn't really occur to me in that series, or in the beginning of this book, that Lloyd George was a real historical figure until I read the google. It had a plot line of espionage and political wars that also involved Lloyd George. His name was familiar to me because I watched a series called " Pennyworth" which is the backstory of Batman's butler Alfred.
Along those lines, I was surprised when I read about Lloyd George. I grew up in the 1980s, so I heard quite a bit of U2, and through Bono and U2's music had heard about the skirmishes in Ireland, but didn't really know much about them, so I was inspired to do a couple of googles in order to understand the story better. I know from watching Outlander that it is pronounced leer-ee, but I'm sure a lot of readers wouldn't know that.
I imagine this book is even better on audio to get all the Irish pronunciations correct. 239, "something within me crystallized, as though in that moment a choice was made, and I stepped into a past that would be my future." Even though the wording was almost identical, it felt fresh and just as beautiful when I read it in the second instance. 169) There is a similar sentiment on ePg. I found this book easy to read, but with complex sentences that create beautiful prose, "But Thomas was still caught between the memory of them and the prospect of me, and I was snagged between a future that was my past, and a past that might be my future." (Pg. I did not feel disloyal to Outlander in the least, and the book is completely unique, so much that I never even thought of Outlander while reading WtWK. (By the way, Amazon tells me I also own the eBook of Outlander, which makes me really happy - because my hard backs hold a special place on my bookshelf, but, back to the failing eyes thing.) Anyway - I needn't have hesitated. But, being a VERY HUGE Outlander fan, I was a little hesitant to read a time travel book that takes place in the same general geographic region. Kind of a rainy-day shelf, or for when my eyes get too old that I can't read all the traditional books waiting on my physical shelf, I can change the font size on the eBook and still keep reading.) I also got the hard copy from the library. (I have a habit of "purchasing" eBooks when they are on a free promo if the book sounds vaguely interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to discover, thanks to a header on the Amazon page, that I already owned the eBook. We read it for our November 2022 meeting so it was already a couple years old.
