The Island of Longing by Anne Griffin
emotional
sad
slow-paced
3.5
The Island of Longing is the first book I have read by Anne Griffin but certainly will not be my last.
Rosie saw her 17-year-old daughter cycle into town, that would be the last she saw her. Eight years on stuck in limbo believing her daughter is still alive she receives a phone call from her father asking her to return to Roaring Bay, her hometown.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the characters were well-developed as was the story. My only criticism would be I felt there was a lot of repetition especially in regards to the past. In saying that I would definitely recommend this book.
Thank you Netgalley, Anne Griffin and Hodder & Staughton for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
