gayleywayley 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín
3.0

Audiobook ... Spoiler Alert

This one was a bit disappointing after the first book in the series.


Spoiler Alert
The first book is told entirely (or almost) from the perspective of Eilis, a young Irish woman who moves to America. The second book is told from the perspective of at least 3 people, including Eilis. This book was much more of a love story than the first. I am not complaining that it was a love story, but I would have appreciated more of Eilis' life in general, like book one. There is also a major cliff hanging ending, far more so than book 1. I understand wanting people to read the next book in the series, but c'mon!
