Yes, I think the book should be available to more people to read because it's a very detailed and discriptive memoir that has some tragic events that make it very interesting.

I think the book would appeal to young adults, adults, and mothers.

It is appealing because the book really keeps your attention by the details it gives and how it describes things. Also the events in the book are interesting and keeps you reading.

The obstacles of the book are the "Irish" language they use periodically, sometimes parts that don't keep you attention very well, and also the length. It seems to make some events longer than they should be written.

Students would need to know a little Irish language background (mostly slang terms), understand medical sickness terms such as pneumonia, and chuch background such as communion and confession.

The way the parents are, the relatives that are helping, and how the children act and think.

There is not any "mature" content in the book except alcoholism and children dying.

Overall it seems to be a book that anyone could read.
