It‘s not a bad book. It‘s a bad fit for me. I don‘t often like mysteries, so it was already a bad start. It was fine until all the narrative winks and nudges started, which threw me and then irritated me. I had most of the twists pegged early, then couldn‘t figure why it was supposed to be surprising. I really disliked the (lack of) resolution to both stories and it frustrated me greatly. Sorry, French fans, but I just didn‘t like it.

ravenlee Best thing was crossing off #setinDublin for #52Books23 which leaves me with just one more, #byacomedian (I have one ready, just need to get time to read it) (edited) 1y

kricheal I had the same exact feelings with this one. 1y

Texreader I bailed. It just never ever ever took off for me 1y

ravenlee @kricheal @Texreader I‘m glad it‘s not just me! I see so much love for this series, and I just couldn‘t get into it. 1y

Old God's Time: A Novel | Sebastian Barry

pick

Retired police detective Tom Kettle is visited by officers investigating one of his unsolved cases, stirring up memories, both sweet & painful. It took me a while to get into the book, the narrative is very much in Tom‘s mind which wanders & occasionally hallucinates, making it difficult to get a grip on the story, but gradually it unfolds in all its horror & tragedy. It made me cry. It‘s a tough but worthwhile read. #52BookClub23 #SetinDublin

Librarybelle Wonderful review! 2y

CarolynM @Cathythoughts It‘s good, I think, hope you like it. The weather has been all over the place for the last few weeks - wet and cold (by our standards) one day, pleasant and sunny the next. Today was a cold one, but they‘re forecasting 20 degrees for the next 2 days 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

CarolynM @TrishB I think you‘d need a very hard heart to read this story without tears 2y

CarolynM @Librarybelle Thank you 🙏 2y

A joyful feel good story #FeaturingThreeGenerations #SetInDublin - Millie the matriarch, with a hankering for pilfering, Kevin her good natured son with a bit of a wandering eye and teenage Aideen, a moody teen who has a knack for landing in trouble. A sweet story about family and learning to love the lot you‘re given. Fun - easy to read.
