Mr Lynch's Holiday by Catherine O'Flynn

3.0

It was tough not to give this a higher rating because it was just a good book. The father and son relationship in this book is interesting, it evolves and it's real. The father is frustrated by a son he doesn't understand and the son struggles to identify with a man he thinks he disappoints. But the book avoids accusations of wrongs of the past and just revisits the way their relationship evolves and changes and the reasons it does so. I really liked the father Dermot and less so Eamonn but he redeemed himself in the end. It was a very satisfying read and I would pick up this author's work again.
