pickEnright is a mystery to me. I always want to enjoy her books but they always end up being a muddle in my mind. This story revolves around a single mother and her daughter and the legacy left behind by the mother‘s father, a famous poet who has callously left all of them behind. Some of the writing was wonderful and yet I always feel removed from the emotion Enright is trying to elicit from me. It‘s a low pick. #offtheshelf #TenBeforetheEnd

Suet624 @Tamra yeah, I understand. I really want to like her but… 4d
Suet624 @Ruthiella good call, at least for now. 4d
ChaoticMissAdventures This was on a Women's Prize list at some point, and I just don't find her as compelling as many others. I do agree she can write wonderfully though! 4d
