A young woman in Belfast, teaching 7 yo‘s at a Catholic school, failing at keeping her mom sober, and helping her brother run the family bar with mostly Protestant clientele- falls for the attention of an older married man. I thought it excellent and learned a lot of Irish slang, tightly plotted, fabulous minor character studies and true sense of place, or seemed - how could I know? Five slices of pie. Read for Tournament of Favorites #ToF2024

Definition ÁSTAHAT = “A thing that exists in the moment of use.”

It‘s a self-care 24 hours; bubble bath ??, chocolate and a chai latte, next a haircut ?‍♀️ while I try to get captured by this book. Only on page 55 ?

Hooked_on_books I liked this book, but it takes its time. It‘s really very little about plot and more about revealing the community. 7mo
BkClubCare @Hooked_on_books - thank you; I believe I have finally found the rhythm. 7mo

Look at this face! Nothing whatsoever to do with this book review but I don‘t have the energy to find the book and create the scene. #CopperBopper #Griff #whpg #ToF2024

I am giving this 5 star because it made me feel and made me think. It made me mad and it made my heart ache. It impressed me mightily as a debut! And I love that Elizabeth McCracken is one of the author‘s friends. (My dog is a weirdo, so am I.) & I embrace theme 👇

BkClubCare @squirrelbrain - thx 😊 But was this *REALLY* a review? 😂 I liked it SO much better than this ordeal that Demon Copperhd is putting me thru so far and I think the comparison helped mightily in my rx. 1y
