Über diesen Titel
A wildly romantic story on a wild island with the promise of hope, redemption and self-discovery at its core.
Cordelia James was once at the top of her game-a renowned street photographer with a massive social media following, gallery showings in Chelsea, and a lucrative book deal. But after the sudden death of her father, everything changed. Now, Cordelia can barely force herself to leave her apartment. That is, until she sees an ad for a summer gig at a cosy cottage on Ireland's picturesque Inishmore island. Rent-free, plus a small stipend if willing to do some menial housework and look after an elderly neighbour. Cordelia is on a plane before she can talk herself out of it.
But practically the moment she steps off the boat, she crashes-literally-into Niall O'Connor, a grumpy local who's just returned home to Inishmore from Dublin. Cordelia's camera breaks, and Niall doesn't give a horse's arse about it. He's nursing a broken heart and trying to patch up a broken life, and he has no time for posh American tourists or their thousand-dollar hobbies. The more Cordelia's and Niall's paths cross, the more they make each other's lives hell. But as with all rivalries, their hatred is about to reach a tipping point-and it's going to heat up their cool coastal nights.
Featuring a lovable band of quirky supporting characters, Worth a Shot is an emotionally gripping tale of love, passion, art, food, and finding your community-even if that community happens to be on a remote island thousands of miles from home.©2024 Amy Ewing (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK
The basic story itself may have its moments, fair enough. But it is very plump, intense and loud. American...
But typical phrases should be used correctly (we don't say oh that's grand for wow, thank you!! etc etc, grand has specific uses, it's not the Irish go to word for every situation, like Americans often times think) and it should help to learn hoe to pronounce the simplest of words like Inis Oírr, Róisín or bodhrán.
I don't think the narrator has ever been to Ireland, let alone the West. If she had, she wouldn't have to rely on cheap tourist clichees and she'd know that you take the coach from Dublin Airport to the west and certainly not a train...
It pains me to hear Inis Mór people sound like someone from Dalkey or Dún Laoghaire.
in the second half, the author seems to get so desparate that she starts filling the pages with detailed descriptions of sexual intercourse, using strong language that surprised me since I couldn't make the connection to the delicate and arty way of phrasing stories in the Irish culture.
Superficial, clueless American blahblah instead of halfway proper writing...
useless American attempt at an Irish story
