The prose was beautiful in this book, and I really loved the author's note at the end but I found the book didn't suit me overall. It reflects the drab and depressing parts of being irish which is one of the parts I hate about my culture.

This book is beautifully written, the language is varied and poetic. This book is also quite a dense and somewhat inaccessible read, it was difficult to remember the amount of people named throughout the novel and so was hard to follow. I recommend this book but its definitely a novel you have to be in the mood to read 📚
