A review by diav
Landing by Emma Donoghue

4.0

This was my first book by Emma Donoghue. I found her style interesting and enjoyed the story. There were a few parts of the book that I thought were too melodramatic, but it was a realistic portrayal of a long distance relationship. My issue was with Jude... she seemed a very static character who annoyed me at the very end of the book with her moping, but then I got around to thinking: there's a reason why the book is called "Landing" - the focus is more on the lengths Sile is willing to go to preserve this relationship (and thusly, I was less annoyed with Jude).

The ending seemed a bit abrupt but predictable... I wouldn't mind if there was a sequel or follow-up, but the story is good where it ends.

I'll be picking up Emma's other novels shortly.
