There are many books that can resonate with a person, none so more as Midnight at the Blackbird Café. This story of magic realism takes us on the emotional journey through two families that were torn apart by death, but with the healing messages of magic can make them whole again. We follow the stories of Anna Kate, who just took over the Blackbird Café after her grandmothers’ death, and Natalie, who lost her husband and is tired of running away. Their growing bond, with the help of the townsfolk of Wicklow, heal the wounds caused by their family’s tragedy and teach us how we can learn to love ourselves again and let go of the past, with the help of some pie.

There are not many books that I have read that once finished, I declare as one of my favorites, and this is one. Through the character developments of each person, and the touch of Celtic magic, we are brought on a journey of acceptance and forgiveness, where no one thought it possible. This story is not only uplifting, but also teaches us how to learn to figure out what we want in life, not only what others want for us. With the belief in magic, we learn that grieving is a natural process, but we must learn to cope with our grief to be able to move on and see what happiness life has in store for us if we work for it. This book will continue to be one of my favorites, and I cannot wait to share this story with the rest of the book community!
