“Debut novel by Canadian raised in Ireland. A foreign overseas journalist, this long listed Booker novel and our latest book club read.
It took far too long to read for a 275 page book, and why did I bother, I knew after 50 pages I should have given up. It didn’t get any more interesting, I couldn’t care less about the characters or remember them.
A pointless book which felt like the author showing us how cold journalists are, sorry Ed. Do better next time. Our group gave it an average score of 4/10.
Score 2,5/10
