The Irish Matchmaker by Jennifer Deibel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A delightful story set in Ireland that showcases the age-old custom of the matchmakers. But the story isn’t about the matchmakers, the story is much deeper than that. It’s the story of loss and longing and finding one’s place in a world of enticing expectations.
Catriona Daly is a matchmaker, but a lonely one. She wants much more out of life than what she has and has very definite ideas about what she doesn’t want.
Donal Bunratty is a widower farmer with a young daughter to raise. His life is all work and no play, he doesn’t have time for it. Scratching out a living is the best he can do.
The annual matchmaking festival tosses them together and expectations start to change, but not everyone is playing fair. There is a solid faith element to the story that brings it all together.
