at first it was almost too muted/unsentimental but the last act made me so EMO 😭 toibin has always been on my radar cuz he’s described as a lowkey writer & ive been into migration/displacement stories lately so this rly hit. growing more attached to this book the more i think about it (it’s the opposite for some books…) its like if kikis delivery service was irish, or what if Past Lives was less dumb!!
