The main character, Kushla, has many dimensions and experiences many different relationships that all feel real and heartfelt. This story is set during The Troubles in Ireland, and they play a significant role throughout. I could feel the pain of her interactions and desires through a well written book.

Read this for book club and had a feeling before I started that it wouldn't be for me. I never felt compelled to pick it up and for a book about The Troubles, I found it strangely emotionless.
