I don't want to say I enjoyed this book because I feel like that's the wrong term for this book. It is depressing, gut-wrenching, and overall sad. That being said, I liked the book. I am currently living in Ireland (about 30 minutes from Limerick) so I feel that I have an extra connection to the story, and recognize several land marks. The book isn't a page turner, and I put it down for weeks at a time, but I never had any intention of not finishing the story. Would I recommend this to other people? Yes, but know it is a looooong book. Would I reread it? No. Too sad! But a very interesting social, cultural commentary about Limerick during The Depression.
