A review by lisaeliza
The Lost Traveller by Sheila Connolly

2.0

This was incredibly disappointing. Not only was the plot held together by an old, frayed shoestring, but the focus on Travellers and immigrants and negative stereotypes was so problematic and offputting. ‘Oh but they’re technically Irish, so they’re fine’ was kinda the theme. The racism and prejudice was astounding and the protagonist’s constant consultation of the police was incredibly offensive. If this was actual life, she would have gotten many people deported.

I’ve been a fan of this author for years but I don’t know if I feel comfortable reading her books going forward.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review.
