Welcome to Litsy!

Picked my copy up in Dingle on a trip to Ireland last year at the recommendation of the bookshop. Finally read it and loved it. Jonathan‘s sections were the strongest and by far my favorite, but ultimately, I think the two stories of fatherhood work well together. Carson is unique, insightful, and funny. It‘s not quite magical realism, but definitely magical. A bit glad I hadn‘t known that before, or I might not have picked it up.

“The Fire Starters” is a fantastical story like none I‘ve ever read before. The description is vivid and the characters are likeable. I‘d recommend this to those looking for something a little different – it‘s 4 stars from me.

My full review is up on my blog now 📚
