Maeve and Moira--which is which? Twins and for at least a quarter of the book I had to keep going back to figure out which one was doing what. Once I got the rhythm of what was going on in their rivalries, jealousies, secrets, relationships etc I really liked the book very much. Wasn't terribly surprised by one revelation, which I'LL keep a secret so as not to spoil it for any other reader. The imagery is beautiful, the story of a keris is interesting, the emotions of the characters are realistic and the reader can feel and understand them. If the reader has a sibling, even if not a twin, many of the events of growing up together and moving into adulthood apart and together are ones with which he or she can relate.
The Last Will of Moira Leahy by Therese WalshMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
