Black Swan, UK, Trade Paperback copyright 2003 with 320 pages. - Blessed are Corrie and Fee, for theirs is the kingdom of the world's tastiest farmhouse cheese. Tucked away in a corner of Ireland, the lifelong friends turn out batch after batch of perfect Coolarney Blues and Golds, thanks to co-operative cows, non-meat-eating fecund milkmaids, songs from the Sound of Music and the wind blowing just so in the right direction across the green meadows of County Cork. Add to this mixture Corrie's long-lost granddaughter Abbey, fleeing from a remote Pacific Island and an unfaithful husband. And stir in New Yorker Kit Stephens, heart-broken, burned-out and looking for a purpose to his wasted life. The magic that the friends weave in and out of the cheese vats is legendary, but can they use their powers to turn bitterness and betrayal into love?- or will the secret ingredient be lost forever? Cheese is the new Chocolate!

Sarah-Kate Lynch has been a journalist for nearly twenty years. She was editor of New Zealand Women's Weekly, but now writes a column for the magazine. She lives on the coast west of Auckland with her husband, and visits Ireland at least once a year. Blessed Are The Cheesemakers is her first novel to be published in the UK.
If charm were cholesterol, this book would be a guaranteed heart attack. Coolarney House is an Irish dairy farm where two old men with big hearts and secrets mend lives and make astonishing cheeses, some with magic powers. (The cows are tended by pregnant vegetarians who sing "The Sound of Music" as they milk.) Lost souls arrive and stay, make cheese, make love, and it's all funny, sexy, and surprising. Heather O'Neill does a great job with the Irish voices, is slightly less steady with American ones, and is really terrible with the Australians, but it doesn't matter much, as they aren't in the book very long. A delightful audio read. B.G. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
