Set against the background of The Troubles in Northern Ireland this novel spans nearly forty years in the life of the protagonist, Mary. It started off great and I liked the ending but there was a lot of repetition in between. I understood Mary‘s reticence to some extent (her upbringing, the life she thought she wanted) but it did get a bit tedious to read about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best way I can sum this book up is GWTW Northern Irish style. We replace the American civil war with The Troubles & Scarlet with Mary a modest girl from a poor family whose one mistake at 16 defines the rest of her life including the fact that she is so blinded by what could have been that she fails to see what it is she actually has.
