August (Part 2) - theme: Booker Long List
Wild Houses by Colin Barrett
A year after I started the August 2024 theme, picked by my mother ,I have finished part two.
It seems when my mother gives me a theme, she buys me two options and obviously I have to read them both.
This was a good book, and I cannot pinpoint what about it made it difficult to get through. The story was interesting, the characters diverse and well drawn. It had some commentary about society and Ireland. Despite all this it was a slog to get through, and it wasn't even long.
