Number four in the Irish Times Bestsellers list in original fiction week ending 4th January 2014. Praise for 5 Peppermint Grove. Michelle never lets the reader guess what's coming and keeps the suspense with the warmth she adds to every page. Bookshelf reviews. Jackson's latest novel will resonate with many Irish readers who have been touched by the heartbreak of emigration. Funny and empathetic, it is probably her best work yet. Irish Independent. Another great book by a great Irish author! Michelle Jackson never disappoints! Bookworm. Personally I think this is my favourite out of Michelle's books that I've read so far as it had a little bit of everything in it, an interesting mix of characters, stunning location, family dramas, great friendships, new romances, as well as a bit of intrigue.
