DESCRIPTION:
Deborah Peifer said welcome back to the present. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed Emma Donoghue's historical novels Slammerkin and Life Mask, I'll confess to a longing for her to turn her extraordinary novelist's eye to a contemporary topic. Landing fulfills that wish and a great deal more. This is a story that could only take place in the time of easy international travel, e. One continuous read I have only read "Stirfry" of Emma donoghue earlier, and though i liked it, it was difficult to understand on the first go, but i have come to like it.Reading a lot of reviews that she only mostly writes historical novels, i could not bring myself to try another one.But i read a few pages of "Landing" and was hooked enough to . momofand I'm not a dumb person. Not nearly as interesting as Room This book was written in a British dialect that was very hard to understand if you're American. I didn't finish reading it because it was a chore to comprehend, and I'm not a dumb person. Not nearly as interesting as Room.. dogs said and I'm not a dumb person. Not nearly as interesting as Room.

On her first plane trip, Jude’s and Síle’s worlds touch and snag at Heathrow Airport. Síle is a stylish citizen of the new Dublin, a veteran flight attendant who’s traveled the world. In the course of the next year, their lives, and those of their friends and families, will be drawn into a new, shaky orbit. Jude is a twenty-five-year-old archivist, stubbornly attached to the tiny town of Ireland, Ontario, in which she was born and raised. This sparkling, lively story explores age-old questions: Does where you live matter more than who you live with? What would you give up for love, and would you be a fool to do so?. A delightful, old-fashioned love story with a uniquely twenty-first-century twist, Landing is a romantic comedy that explores the pleasures and sorrows of long-distance relationships—the kind millions of us now maintain mostly by plane, phone, and Internet
What follows is a long-distance exchange of passionate e-mails, letters, phone calls, and visits, most of which leave Sile and Jude feeling both exhilarated and despondent after each goodbye. From the moment Jude and Sile first meet aboard a transatlantic flight, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Donoghue is skilled at brining out the humanity in each woman, so the sacrifices they both must make to keep their relationship alive never seem forced. And while we may grow tired of the constant late night missives and teary-eyed goodbyes, we find ourselves rooting for this couple, and hoping they will go the distance. Surrounding each heroine is a circle of friends and family members whose romantic struggles and successes highlight the pleasure and pain that often come with falling in love. --Gisele Toueg. Acclaimed Irish author Emma Donoghue's fifth novel, Landing, is a story about how far people will step outside their comfort zon
