Long Island by Colm Tóibín
3.75
emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Colm Toibin can certainly write a good story and can capture the complexities of relationships. I read this in one sitting and enjoyed it but I’m slightly frustrated that the book finishes before we know what happens to Jim, Eilis and Nancy. I need to know!!!!
