Thanks to the sacrifice of her older sister, Maire, the couple enjoy wedded bliss on a hill overlooking Galway Bay, but their happy family soon encounters great hardship. Just as Honora is about to enter the convent, Michael Kelly, the son of a blacksmith, swims toward her in Galway Bay, and they fall in love at first sight. Galway Bay is a fictional account of Kelly’s great-great-grandmother, Honora Keeley Kelly, the daughter of a fisherman and the granddaughter of a woman who believed in the importance of folklore, storytelling, and passing stories down through the generations. At more than 500 pages, I was a bit nervous when I received the book in the mail, but by the time I finished, I wished it were longer so I could spend more time with Kelly’s captivating characters. I’m always drawn to multi-generational family sagas, so I knew I had to be part of the Early Birds Blog Tour hosted by Hachette Book Group for Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly.
