Ever since I traveled to Ireland years ago, I have been completely in love with the beauty of Ireland. Whether it's a featured in a good movie or a compelling book, an Irish setting is one of my favorites. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm sharing my favorite books set in Ireland that will for sure put you in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day.

2. Circle of Friends by Maeve Binchy (really anything by Binchy!)
3. Brooklyn by Colm Toibin
4. The Princes of Ireland by Edward Rutherfurd
5. Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts
6. The Girl in the Castle by Santa Montefiore (the entire Deverill Chronicles series!)

I have to admit, I am not Irish, so St. Patrick's Day always catches me by surprise, but Ireland is always a good setting!
ReplyDeleteIreland is one of my favorite settings for sure--Scotland, too! Thanks for visiting, Angela!
