The Green Road by Anne Enright
3.5
emotional reflective sad fast-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Easily one of my favorite Enright books (second only to The Gathering!) and a deceptively fast read. I really enjoy this book, although I will say it seems more a meditation on people who don't really change (especially not for the better) throughout life rather than one which showcases character development. While I find this really interesting personally, it can lead to some frustration when reading.
