Summary
A luxury stay in an Irish castle， a handsome， experienced tour guide， and a secret that has never been revealed。
Life as manager of the magnificent resort of Castle Dysert on Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast is never dull， and Conor O’Shea’s life to date has taught him to be prepared for the unexpected。
Even he however， is not ready for the gang from Bubbles O’Leary’s bar in New York。 A motley crew， from spinster sisters of a certain age， to exhausted social workers， they are all in Ireland for one reason。
The fact that this bunch of unusual people arrive during Ireland’s biggest matchmaking festival just adds to the intrigue。 But is everyone who they say they are？ Are all their motives pure？
Conor is ready to do his best to show the visitors his beloved Ireland， but his personal life takes a devastating turn and he finds himself torn， unsure how to proceed。 Is the past best left there， or is there redemption to be found in opening old wounds？
Wise and witty， heart-warming and deeply satisfying， Jean Grainger takes us once more on an unforgettable trip to the Emerald Isle。
The Homecoming of Bubbles O’Leary is the fourth book in The Tour Series。

not as good as others in the series I loved the first Tour book， liked the second， tolerated the third and this was just ok for me。 I’ll download a sample of the next and hope it is a bit more exciting than this one

Truly Enjoyed This BookThe characters were all interesting and easy to remember。 Although there were some sad parts， and their have to be because real life has sadness， there was a lot of happiness

Bubbles In IrelandSome engaging characters become fleshed out with each page you turn（ an old friend returns and keeps the ball rolling as only Conan can do， each vignette is told and the bus load of eager travelers becomes a family。 Enjoy each one。

predicable This is an Easy ready series。 But there is a lot of drama for a week long adventure。 I would have rather read more about the tour and less about cancer

HeartwarmingI have the hardest time reviewing anything Jean Grainger writes because everything she writes is so perfect。 People and places come to life and you feel as though you have been there and you know the people。 A minute spent reading something Jean wrote is a minute of joy。 I'm so thankful she shares her books with the world。 HeartwarmingI have the hardest time reviewing anything Jean Grainger writes because everything she writes is so perfect。 People and places come to life and you feel as though you have been there and you know the people。 A minute spent reading something Jean wrote is a minute of joy。 I'm so thankful she shares her books with the world。 。。。more

This may be the best book in the series。 I really enjoyed it even though I had some problems keeping track of all of the different characters。 The author does a pretty good job of including something in the text every time a character re-entered the story。 Now - on to the next book！

Every time I finish one of Jean Graingers novels I consider it one of the best entertaining novels I have ever read and then I read the next one and it's the best！ When I first started the "Tour" series I thought it was just 1 of 3。 I normally don't even care to start a series if it's more than that because they usually stop being interesting after the 2nd book but Jeans books just get better and better。 I have just downloaded the 5th but I am waiting a couple of days to "savor" #4。 I laughed an Every time I finish one of Jean Graingers novels I consider it one of the best entertaining novels I have ever read and then I read the next one and it's the best！ When I first started the "Tour" series I thought it was just 1 of 3。 I normally don't even care to start a series if it's more than that because they usually stop being interesting after the 2nd book but Jeans books just get better and better。 I have just downloaded the 5th but I am waiting a couple of days to "savor" #4。 I laughed and cried many times while reading "Bubbles" his story and then the stories of each person who accompanies his ashes to Ireland is so touching and poignant。 I loved each and every character; Manuel the homeless illegal who Bubbles takes into his cares， gives him a job and a place to live， The two sisters Erin and Shannon who are afraid of the world， who can barely function outside of their home and their jobs and are terrified of losing each other， Bubbles befriends them and introduces them to the Irish Cultural Center and his bar even thought they are committed teetotalers。 Beth and her sister Maddie who cling to one another because of their unhappy childhood and the lovelessness from their mother。 When disaster strikes Maddie， the group circle Maddie giving her the support she needs。 Kevin， the Social Worker who works so hard to help others through his work is still traumatized by the divorce from his first wife， he longs for a normal life where he can finally have a marriage of give and take and make a good home for his precocious， adorable 8 year old daughter。 There is a socially backward genius who rarely speaks named Jimmy who finds a person in Ireland he never thought would exist who's love story brought Jimmy to his knees and which I cried all the way through chapter 41。 The other characters Beth and Marianne have their own stories to tell and a few surprises too， not to mention Will， the man with a surprising past。 When Bubbles drops dead on evening in his bar with all his friends around him， they are all bereft and decide they need to honor their dear friend。 Kevin， organizes a trip to Ireland to look for a place to scatter Bubbles ashes in his former homeland。 This story takes us to Castle Dysert once and again and we meet a lot of our old friends from the past 3 books。 Jane Grainger is a master at weaving the past and present along with the people involved into her highly readable books。 I have been to Ireland a couple of times and always enjoyed myself， it's such a beautiful place but I do wish I had read some of Jeans books first， the history she gives of the sites through my favorite character Conner; Tour driver and now partner in the famous and fabulous Hotel Dysert is wonderful， I just have to go back again！ 。。。more
