mslapp 's review for:

Long Island by Colm Tóibín
5.0
reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A worthy follow-up to Toibin's Brooklyn, written with the same lucidity, grace, and dispassionate interest in human behavior.
