Firstly thanks to the publisher for an ARC.
I can’t honestly say that this novel has anything original to say. It was filled with stereotypical characters. There is a 50’s feel to the whole story, I assume the author feels this about Ireland but it permeated the early 2000’s London and so felt inauthentic. This may have been a better story if longer to allow for some fleshing out of the characters.
