A review by schymek
The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen

3.0

But surely love wouldn't get so much talked about if there were not something in it?

It was interesting, to say the least. However, I'd be lying if I said I understood everything going on in this book. Some of the dialogue lost me, other times the dry humour and anti-English sentiments much alike Derry Girls made me chuckle. Lois appeared to be one of the central characters but I did not entirely grasp that part until her romance with Gerald took center stage during the latter part of the novel. Can not wait to hear more about this novel and potentially clear certain things up during the seminar. Also, fingers crossed and I might end up in Cork during my stay abroad next semester. Fans of Downtown Abbey and Irish history/slice of life: this one's for you.
