Steph KayFrench’s book reminded me that I like books set in Ireland and should read more mystery. I did not guess the ending, nor was I disappointed.

Molly HansI agree! It has a lot to say about grieving the past as well as grieving the loss of a loved one - in a very compelling story. Also says a lot about doing whatever it takes to survive under confusing and adverse conditions. Highly recommend!

Steph KayRemember how after 2020 and 2021 the future is a black abyss from which no joy nor light can escape? This lady says she’s been there and you should totally cope by doing a bunch random weirdness. To be honest, this book read like a sequel and a few times I found myself wishing I was reading the other, apparently better book that was regularly referenced. Alas, I had not.
