For thirty-some years, Lyle has made a life for his family working as an accountant. But when he retires, his Irish-born wife, Mary, wants to leave America and go home — where the ocean is near and the butter has flavor. Somewhat grudgingly, Lyle agrees, but during their years in Galway, they discover that the surprises of life are not over. Going home is more complicated than butter and the bay, and thirty content years does not mean that a couple is immune to romantic intrigue. In this new life, while Mary and Lyle are rediscovering each other and building a richer life together, an unexpected event forces Lyle to decide where his home truly is. Told in “quiet stories with emotions like old stepping-stones that have sunk beneath the surface” ( Christian Science Monitor ), Beth Lordan’s evocative and heartfelt novel explores the complex emotional terrain of mature marital relationships.

Review by Twinsie Dee
i bought this book here is my review
this is an adorable story of Mary and Lyle who have moved to Ireland back to Mary’s hometown after living in the states and raising their children. Mary wanted to be close to her family in their older years and living a much calmer life in Ireland with her husband. Every relationship has its moments, Lyle and Mary are no different, follow them in their current time, past and the people they meet along their path. this was a nice story that makes you slow your pace and enjoy life
