Crossing to Safety is such a beautiful story. When I first picked it up I was surprised to see when it was published. Someone, who I can’t remember, recommended it. I started reading and couldn’t put it down. What did you think of Long Island? I listened to it while driving to and from Long Island 2 weeks ago to visit family and we went to Jones Beach.
Kelly, I LOVED it. I never read Brooklyn so going to go back and listen. I hope he writes a third book to let us know what happens with these unforgettable characters ( kind of like the Lucy Barton trilogy). All that said, what did YOU think?
I found myself saying, "what happened next". I don't like lose ends but this one really left me hanging. He nailed the Irish way of not talking about feelings and opening up to others which I have experienced and get full of frustration. If they just talked to each other!!
OMG right??? The inability to communicate AND sweeping everything under the rug as a most-used conflict resolution tool. Yes, he needs to write a follow up so we can all find out what happened next.
Thank you for always sharing so many great recs! That poem blew me away! I've been chased off my porch by mosquitos :( . Hope to see you soon! xox
