vivienh 's review for:

All We Shall Know by Donal Ryan

Since I'm reviewing this book months after I've closed its covers, I don't remember much of it, which is one of the reasons I'm giving it an average 3 stars. I don't recall a lot about the writing or style. But for such a short book it packs a hefty punch. Set in Ireland, the MC's morals are involved when she is involved with one of her students, much younger than her. Her brain is confusing, a bit of a mess, and there are times when she's definitely taking advantage of her position/power. Her dad is concerned. You wonder how she became this way, the actions she's taking, the decisions she makes. Every time I opened this book I felt a little sadder - her situation, her mind, her voice, just the overall mood.
