I was a huge fan of J. Courtney Sullivan's novel 'Maine,' and like that novel, 'Saint' is a family saga set in Boston. Irish Catholic family secrets - is there anything better?
-Elin Hilderbrand's praise highlights a deep appreciation for compelling family sagas rooted in Irish Catholic culture. The interweaving of secrets and heritage offers a timeless appeal, blending history, identity, and personal drama. Such stories resonate because they explore universal themes of belonging, tradition, and the powerful bonds that both unite and divide families. The setting in Boston adds a specific backdrop that enriches these narratives, emphasizing community and cultural roots. Reading about these intertwined lives evokes curiosity and empathy, reminding us how family secrets shape our understanding of ourselves and our histories. Overall, it's a celebration of stories grounded in familial complexity and rich cultural context.
