beckapearce 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín
3.5
emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Didn't realise this was a sequel but it read well-enough as a standalone. I actually really enjoyed it until the final page which had a very abrupt ending and I feel didn't resolve the story as well as I would have hoped. Maybe that was the point but I was taken aback by turning the page and finding the book had finished.
