4.0
This book does a good job of capturing the culture and social issues of industrial Dublin. It is very sad and at some points hard to read, but it is too important to set aside. The writing style is just sheer beauty.
Graphic: Abandonment, Alcoholism, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Child death, Chronic illness, and Misogyny
