Holding by Graham Norton
5.0
Loved this book. Wasn't sure what to expect from Graham Norton the author but it wasn't this level of emotionally satisfying story. The book is written SO well, with a real eye for small town Irish life and a lilt of accent in his voice.
Only thing I found missing was a gay character, rather like James Baldwin writing Giovanni's Room about write people, I thought, though they were at least gay white people. Does a gay author have an obligation to write about gay people? Don't know, I was thinking maybe the neighbor or something.
Anyway these are after thoughts as this well written story sailed along so well. Loved the journey.
