Friday Finds-June 26

Should Be Reading asks you to share what books you discovered this week that interest you!

The book that caught my eye this week was The Walking People by Mary Beth Keane that I found over at Peeking Between the Pages. And guess what--she is also having a giveaway for this book!

Here is a summary of The Walking People from the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers website:

Greta Cahill never believed she would leave her village in the west of Ireland until she found herself on a ship bound for New York, along with her sister Johanna and a boy named Michael Ward. Labeled a "softheaded goose" by her family, Greta discovers that in America she can fall in love, raise her own family, and earn a living. Though she longs to return and show her family what she has made of herself, her decision to spare her children knowledge of a secret in her past forces her to keep her life in New York separate from the life she once loved in Ireland, and tears her apart from the people she is closest to. Even fifty years later, when the Ireland of her memory bears little resemblance to that of present day, she fears that it is still possible to lose all when she discovers that her children—with the best of intentions— have conspired to unite the worlds she’s so carefully kept separate for decades. A beautifully old-fashioned novel, The Walking People is a debut of remarkable range and power.
