A review by moirab71
The Green Road by Anne Enright

3.0

While generally well written, this piece of work could have been whittled down by at least a third. The first half which deals with each individual family member is unnecessarily long winded with details that don't really have a bearing on the main story. It is in the second half when the family come together that the story begins to become any way interesting. While I felt no real connection with anyone in the book, Rosaleen Madigan and her daughter Constance are the only well drawn characters who had any real substance. This is my first time to read any of Anne Enright's work but sadly I think I won't be rushing to read her back catalogue.
