Welcome to Litsy!

I picked a book off the shelf & discovered it was the second book in a trilogy. So I ordered this first of the trilogy. Eneas is a common man in Ireland, put on a blacklist by the IRA for working with the British police for a short time. He must flee for the remainder of his days and we follow him as he navigates his life through his fear and feelings of loss.(The photo is from Hope Cemetery - Barre, VT. This sculptor made his own gravestone.)

Possibly too-well written, if such a thing is possible.

It was a toss up between so-so and pick. The story took a while to get going, some sentences sprawled a bit and sometimes I wasn't even sure what was occurring but in the end the trials and tribulations of Eneas won me over.

I think i may need reading glasses, having to make my text larger 🤓

In the middle of the lonesome town, at the back of John Street, in the third house from the end, there is a little room.

Next up. Always a fan of a Barry novel.
