When All Is Said by Anne Griffin

3.0

This is a sweet story that reflects on the connectedness of life - on choices made and the need to reconcile the consequences of those decisions. Maurice is at the end of his life, trying to make peace by toasting the five people that have impacted him the most. Toasting, regretting, and perhaps, redeeming. Through these toasts we are granted entrance into the many vulnerabilities and stories that he has guarded so tightly, so proudly, so stubbornly throughout his life. I wasn’t glued to this novel, but when all is said, (see what I did there?!) I enjoyed it well enough.
