This book was a welcome relief after wading through an interesting but intense history book before it!
It is simply written, but the characters manage to capture your interest and sympathies very quickly. The different elements of the story are well woven together, but Finnerty manages not to make it feel gimmicky. Rather, it is a nice depiction of how our own lives weave connections with the people around us without necessarily ever meeting.
I think my favourite thing about this story is how every character feels so round. They all have their good sides but equally they all have their flaws.
