When All Is Said by Anne Griffin

4.0

Really good, bittersweet and full of the details of a life well lived. I liked the Irish setting/dialogue and grew to love Maurice as his story unfolded. I read it slowly, about a chapter a day, to manage the melancholy.

I understood the ending but hoped for a different outcome. Maurice likely underestimated the impact on his son and showed his characteristic selfishness, again. Reducing to 4 stars after several days of reflection.

Book club selection for May, purchased the paperback.
