Özet
 Change is coming to Faha, a small Irish parish unaltered in a thousand years.

For one thing, the rain is stopping. Nobody remembers when it started; rain on the western seaboard is a condition of living. But now - just as Father Coffey proclaims the coming of the electricity - the rain clouds are lifting. Seventeen-year-old Noel Crowe is idling in the unexpected sunshine when Christy makes his first entrance into Faha, bringing secrets he needs to atone for. Though he can't explain it, Noel knows right then: something has changed.

As the people of Faha anticipate the endlessly procrastinated advent of the electricity, and Noel navigates his own coming-of-age and his fallings in and out of love, Christy's past gradually comes to light, casting a new glow on a small world.

Harking back to a simpler time, This Is Happiness is a tender portrait of a community - its idiosyncrasies and traditions, its paradoxes and kindnesses, its failures and triumphs - and a coming-of-age tale like no other. Luminous and lyrical, yet anchored by roots running deep into the earthy and everyday, it is about the power of stories: their invisible currents that run through all we do, writing and rewriting us, and the transforming light that they throw onto our world.©2019 Niall Williams (P)2019 W.

This book is an astounding lesson in literature. Every sentence is like poetry, artfully painting a picture. I love the fact that little happens, instead it’s a slow moving story of human life.

Beautifully written

I’ve never enjoyed a book as much in 60 years of reading. The descriptions and humour are wonderful, finishing it made me realise that the bar is now so high, future reads will struggle to reach it.

Genius story telling and perfect narration.

Beyond beautiful descriptive word perfect prose. Niall Williams paints a perfect picture of rural Ireland at a time of great change.

Magnificent

Niall Williams has a gift for a unique turn of phrase. Each sentence, each word tells so much. This book reminds us that there is joy in simplicity and that the way of life in the past could be wonderful indeed because of the people in it. The characters are a joy to get to know. I CANNOT imagine a more perfect narrator for this book. Highly recommended. If you are Irish or have spent time in Ireland, especially rural Ireland you will "get" a lot of the way of life told here. I've already downloaded his new book, which has the same narrator.

A very special book. It was a joy to listen to!
