Ireland has long been a country both alluring for its beauty and culture. But for Mercy McCarthy, it is the beginning to owning a bookshop with her sister, and learning a bit about their family's past. See what author Lucy Connelly said in my interview with her for the upcoming release of A Body at the Irish Book Club...the fifth installment in her Mercy McCarthy Series. Coming this April.
