Read The Blazing Heather by Colm Toibin ★★★★★📚
Éamon an Irish judge, is quite & extremely reserved, not too likeable, distant from family. The book goes back and forth between his older self & upbringing. I really felt from him later, quietly heartbreaking.

Read: Long Island by Colm Tóibín ★★★★★ 📚
Quiet, subtle and thrilling. Characters fail to communicate, wait too long for the right moment and miss and hit opportunities.
Read: Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín ★★★★★ 📚
A re-read in prep for Long Island. This is a beautiful quiet read that lingers a long time. Really enjoyed reading it again.
