I loved this premise but didn’t realise what would really make these versions differ OR how emotional it would be, until I found out it was about domestic abuse. Such a strong debut tho, wonderfully written and I loved the romanticism in the parallels between storylines
(e.g. Lily’s presence, the boy and Cian’s bond)
and how art in all its forms shone through it all.
