This book was beautifully written and, although not a thrilling premise, was a quick read with a moving plot. Toibin captured perfectly the feeling of having two "homes" and how when you are caught up in one, the other seems almost like a fantasy. For that, this book is a literary achievement. The ending was rushed and a little disappointing if only because we didn't get enough of her time in Ireland to really wonder what her decision would be. All in all, though, a fantastic read--highly recommended.
