Strange Flowers by Donal Ryan

4.0

Thank you Donal Ryan for making me cry so much. My god this was good. Full credit to my mam for making me read this. Admittedly there were brief moments that I consider a “slog” purely due to his style of writing going against what I’m drawn to naturally.

His characterisation and how he writes these complicated characters however is incredible. I cried pretty much for the last 60 odd pages
