I think this is my lowest rating thus far!

We talked about this one at bookclub last night - no one willing to stand up for it as a great read. There were good moments but it didn't work and we all finished the novel confused. Very disappointing as the precis describing Ireland in the swinging sixties has made it sound like an enjoyable one.

3.0

'A time to be born, this balloon-headed time - a unique era of stability and opportunity. Where we all, with eager willingness, are dutiful zeros. With our life paths signposted upon a virtual highway. The bleached calm of the twenty-first century.'
