SUMMARY:Books and Lunch on Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:This Is Happiness\n\nby Niall Williams\n\nNow an old man\, Noel 
 Crowe reflects on the spring when the eternal\, infernal rains stopped 
 pouring on the tiny hamlet of Faha and when the sun beat down with an 
 undiscerning assurance. Along with the weather's good tidings came the 
 Irish government's long-awaited promise of electrical service to this lone 
 outpost. Christy is the man utility has charged with ushering the Fahaeans 
 into the ways of the twentieth century. Noel was 17 then\, mourning the 
 death of his mother and living with his grandparents while pondering his 
 fate of joining the priesthood. When Christy becomes their lodger\, his 
 presence not only heralds the vast changes that are in store for the 
 villagers\, he also provides a tutorial for Noel in the ways of the heart. 
 It turns out that Christy is in Faha to do more than sign up new customers: 
 he's there to atone to Annie Mooney\, the woman he left at the altar some 
 50 years before. With a beckoning gentleness that belies the deeper 
 philosophies at play\, superb Irish author Williams (History of the Rain\, 
 2014) offers a lilting\, magical homage to time and redemption\, and a 
 stirring\, sentimental journey into the mysteries of love and the 
 possibilities of friendship. - Booklist\n\nJoin Meeting:
