"What makes the story unique is Taylor's disarming style; she writes as though she were sitting next to you, at dusk, recounting the events of her week... Taylor has a knack for finding the universal truth in daily details." Los Angeles Times<BR><BR>"The Village is the third in the trilogy, and will, I believe, be acknowledged the best... There is something about the rhythm of her prose that matches the rhythm of life in Innishannon. It's the life in the town that gives life to her language because she has caught the essence of it all, the basic decency, the kindness, the suffering, the humanity of it all." Boston Irish Reporter<BR><BR>"She has a wicked wit and a pen which works on the reader slowly but insidiously." Observer<BR><BR>"Taylor is in love with life, in love with family, in love with people, and in love with nature, and all this affection is evident in every page of the book. This is a book you should read if you are jaded with life and bored with your environment, because Taylor can find joy in any relationship and see beauty in every rural scene." Irish Echo
