“I dreamed that I dreamed about the musty grey soil of the island and the sweet perfume it emits after rainfall, a double remove from a place I will never visit again. My mother explained to me once… We find the scent comforting, she told me, because we want to believe there‘ll be a welcoming place for us one day, when we‘re buried deep inside it.”
Phenomenal. John Boyne never disappoints me.

This one was a slow start for me because I don't have children. Or want them. But it's really well written even if I struggled to relate at the beginning.

After reading Water I moved immediately to this book and for a short book (148 pages) it dealt with a lot of big issues such as sexuality, sex work, abuse, and guilt. Again, a difficult read (and at times I struggled with the timeline of this book and how it fit with the previous, loosely connected book). Still, I am interested in finishing the series.

In this installment a pair of famous footballers are on trial for rape. We follow our MC, Evan, as he takes stock of his life and how he ended up in this situation.

As always, Boyne makes us take a hard look at the consequences of life‘s choices, be it those that we make or those that have been made for us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.8/5 🌟

Not as good as the first book, but still engaging and worth the read.

This was a depressing - though well written - slice of life story. It's about a married woman who starts an affair and how things develop from there. Set in Ireland with the 2007/8 financial crisis as a background.
