Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Happy People Read and Drink Coffee, apparently. Sounds good!
Happy People Read and Drink Coffee
What you need to know before your trail
Diane, owner of Happy People Read and Drink Coffee, a cosy coffee shop turned library in Paris, seems to have the perfect life. But when she suddenly loses her husband and daughter in a car accident, her life is overturned and the world as she knows it disappears. Trapped by her memories, Diane closes her shop and retreats from friends and family.
One year later, she moves from Paris to a small town on the Irish coast, determined to heal by rebuilding her life alone, without anyone’s help or pity – until she meets Edward, a handsome and moody Irish photographer. Along windy shores and cobbled streets, Diane falls into a surprising and tumultuous romance. As she works to overcome her painful memories, Diane and Edward’s once-in-a-lifetime connection inspires her to love herself and the world around her with new-found inner strength and happiness.
But will it last when Diane leaves Ireland, and Edward, for good?

How to choose a place to live or even travel in Ireland according to Diane
Mulranney
“Sitting at Colin’s desk with an atlas in front of me, I looked over the map of Ireland. How could I choose my tomb under an open sky? How could I find a place that would bring me the peace and tranquility I needed to be alone with Colin and Clara. Knowing absolutely nothing about Ireland , and finding myself unable to choose somewhere to settle, I ended up closing my eyes and letting my fingers land on the map, trusting to fate.”
“Fate had chosen the tiniest village possible; I could barely make out its name on the map. Mulranny. I would go into exile in Mulranney”
