This is slow going, very inward as the writer Henry James ponders life, his parents and sister's death. It is grist for his creativity and famous books.

Not sure I'll keep reading this as it too internal and self flagellating. How he could be so innocent yet empathetic is amazing.

It's improving as he goes to Ireland from England and isn't doubting himself as much as a writer (Henry James). Ireland is in the midst of throwing off the Colonial yoke, though.

This is slow going, even for Toibin, who writes the inner world of people so thoughtfully. Not sure I'll get into it as it drags along.
