Through the first chapter and introduction, and I'm really happy I've chosen to pick this book up. I just found it randomly in a used book store, and it's already given me a omre granular insight into the Dublin streetscape. Imagining an insurrection where I got a spice bag is quite something. The revolutionaries' extensive diaries also remind me that our present political moment deserves real writing as well.

Atkinson’s prose is so intriguing and her characters are so witty and charming. A lovely pleasant read that also challenges you to confront the evils of human behavior, especially men’s violence against women.

Fast-paced, yet detail oriented. I never feel like I needed more information after a scene or chapter. There’s a lot of characters to keep track of, but that’s not really my strong suit. The narrative changes so much compared to Kindred with a narrator from the time-period vs from the future. The story becomes a lot more intimate/familiar rather than alien/foreign..

Haunting

Representation is just as shocking as it is comforting.
