A review by amandat
The Given Day by Dennis Lehane

5.0

Wow, I love the characters in this book - and since I've read "Live By Night" I know what happens to some of them.

Great plotline (much of which follows true events in Boston's pre-prohibition days), complicated characters and a heart wrenching ending.

Took some getting into though - don't judge it on the first couple of chapters. This is a slow burn that requires patience, but the pay off is huge.
