Despite Jenny's reservations in her review in bwl 56, this for me was an absorbing exposition of how situations, the plans of others and our own vulnerabilities draw a person into making fateful choices in life and it passed the "what happens next?" test. The limitations of life in rural Ireland and among those clinging on in Brooklyn are convincingly portrayed although one development stretches credulity a bit. A clear and gripping story.
