Girl With Green Eyes by Edna O'Brien

4.0

---

As humorous as the first, but increasingly starts to feel almost like a kind of survival mechanism: we can only laugh to ward off the crying. I think I'd forgotten since first reading it just how dark The Country Girls can get along the way; this sequel sees no issue with pushing ever further. It is not always easy to read, but near impossible to resist: these are intoxicating characters.
