A lighthearted, romantic, and whimsical story with elements of magical realism, it centers around cheese-making, second chances, and the power of love. The story is set on Coolarney, a small Irish dairy farm run by two aging cheesemakers, Corrie and Fee, who make world-famous cheese using their own unorthodox methods. They believe that only people with the right emotional and spiritual qualities can properly contribute to the cheese-making process. The novel weaves in humorous and touching moments, including the dairy’s unique philosophy on cheese-making and life itself. Abbey and Kit find hope and redemption in unexpected places. Readers often describe Blessed Are the Cheesemakers as a feel-good, uplifting story with a blend of humor, heart, and gentle magic. It has been compared to works by Maeve Binchy for its blend of Irish charm and magical realism. A wonderful read.
