abiblio 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín
4.0
emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Mature exploration of old and new love, responsibilities and trust. It was about families and loyalty and the characters were complex and seemed real. The ending was messy and inconclusive. It was great.
