This Is Happiness
by Niall Williams
This is Happiness by Niall Williams is like sitting with an old Irish man while he goes on and on and on telling you about one particular summer when he was a young man and lived with his grandparents in the small town of Faha. that summer the rain had stopped and electricity came to town.
it took me almost a month to get through this book, it's very slow paced. our main character Noel would start in one place and then go off telling all sorts of little stories within the larger story, the way a person sometimes does when telling a story in real life. I'm not sure if it was this narrative style that didn't fully work for me or if it was the story itself.
I read the physical book along side the audiobook. the audiobook was very good, it really made you feel like you were sitting there with Noel as he told you all about that one summer.
