[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long Island by Colm Toibin. I’m halfway through—enjoying, but I liked Brooklyn better. [/quote] Finished it, and I can’t recommend it. I was frustrated by the feckless main characters and their utter inability to express their feelings, needs, and desires. I found myself rooting for none of them—which I guess is fine, because the ending isn’t positive for any of them. [/quote] Our book group read these books back to back last year. I absolutely loved Brooklyn and was so excited to get an update on everyone. I was really disappointed by Long Island.[/quote] I read both books back in April. It felt like the second book was just part two of the first book. The main char4acter seemed to spend her entire life just going along to get along. Until that one day that the guy showed up on their porch. I figured maybe Irish culture is one where nothing of significance ever gets discussed. I liked them both. [/quote]
