NancyNova (USA: PA) (2014/05/07):
cozy read - and hilarious ending. Set in 1946 in Ireland, three couples want to marry, but don't have the means to. The bartender offers a substantial dowry to the man who will marry his daughter. Martin steps up to the plate, but then falls into the river, is presumed drowned & her decides to stay that way. Meanwhile, the priest is attempting to get ahold of the dowry money from the bartender, since the daughter attracted the attention of an older bachelor who doesn't need the dowry to marry. A series of events among the couples, the priest, and the townfolks. And in the end, the priest gets the dowry money for the church - and I won't give away the very end.
