It's been a week since I finished this book, and it's still in my mind every day.One of the best books I have ever read, period.I was mouthing aloud the Irish street dialogue as I was reading to savor it.So authentic.No one can accuse Hamill of shallow characters either;Gina Furey is only the most unforgettable character I have ever come across in fiction.But this novel isn't merely a character study - it's also a tragedy, a love story, and bits of lough-out-loud hilarity.
The one warning, however, is that if you're offended by foul language, it'd be a good idea to stay away.I'm not offended by it at all, and believe it necessary in fact, as these characters would surely speak like this if it were reality.
The highest praise I can give this book is that I'm now reading it again, more slowly and carefully this time.That's something I've never done with any book.
