katiejane 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín

3.25

emotional sad medium-paced

Listened to the audiobook nicely narrated by Jessie Buckley.

A literary soap opera?? Good writing but quite a dreary read. Stil a bit of a page turner nonetheless, with a great narrator. Very similar to the first novel 'Brooklyn' but without the levity of youthfulness or as many playful supporting characters.
