The sense of community in a small village

The main character was well developed and one or two other characters as well. The details of living in a rural community were very visual. Felt the cold and wind from the sea. Sad story about reckless and thoughtless behavior with horrible consequences. Unexpected ending.

Excellent and sad

Great novel on the suffering of women in Ireland and the bulling and infidelity of their husbands. It seems so anachronistic but I guess it is a true reality when people pass their times drinking.

Fabulous

Beautifully written, this a story of flawed relationships and flawed people, doing their best to take care of their families. The author did a great job of taking you back to a recent but different time in Irish history. It's not a happy ever after type of story and that's the point. The end, particularly the final sentences, resonated deeply. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey, savored the book, and look forward to more by this talented author.

Great listen

The characters are written with such depth in this compelling start set in the Donegal region of Ireland in the mid 90s. Beautiful but sad, I enjoyed every word. Looking forward to more from this author.

Brilliiant, engaging and moving.

This is an very absorbing novel about three women with quite different personalities, whose lives become intertwined, in small town rural Ireland. Murrin really understands the Irish world of the 1990s and his writing is brilliant. The story is engaging, moving, and about real world situations in Irish society during that era. Jessica Regan does an excellent job in narrating the novel and really brings all of the characters alive. I highly recommend both this Audible novel and the original written novel.
