I loved the In between. Beautifully done and structured. The last section brought everything together so well and blends the themes in a way that is so hopeful. A really thoughtful and positive novel.

That's so impressive to have read all that within a week! Glad you had a good reading week

I loved Long Island. I thought Toibin's development of Eilis 20 years later in her life was remarkable. Her personality is so consistent yet matured.

I own or have current access (library) to the books you have discussed today but am struggling to get anything read at the moment. And now I’ve added the two Goddards . I remember the uproar the Slap created. To slap or not to slap especially when it involved other people’s children. We talked of nothing else for a while. Can’t wait to get to the In Between. Have read the Visitation. It’s just great. You’ve done it again Bob. Seriously added to my Great Pile of Books to be Read. 🤭🤗

I still need to read Brooklyn and Long Island. I also need to catch up to Knife. Happy Pride month!

I started of the month being very sensible. I had 3 books each on kindle, text and audio. Then it turned into a Shawn Mooney,ie trying to read everything at once & adding more interesting books. However Shawn eventually finishes something. I have finished nothing. I’m reading The In Between Enlightenment Botanical Daughter Henry Henry Evenings and Weekends The Ministry of Time These are all on audio. Then there are several books in text and kindle that are not started or abandoned half finished. I would love a reading holiday.

I thought The Slap was awful, but I haven't enjoyed any of Christos Tsiolkas' books. They are just not for me.
