caroparr 's review for:

The Green Road by Anne Enright

3.0

---

Drink, distance, and being the good child have taken their toll on Rosaleen's four adult children, and Rosaleen herself, a piece of work, almost dies before it's all done. I much preferred this to The Gathering, which shares the themes of Irish families reuniting in crisis. These characters were much more distinct and engaging.
