![]() She also poses some tough questions on child, parent, and sibling responsibility and loyalty. ![]() ![]() It's interesting to compare Frank with his brother, who never left home. She uses dialog and realistic situations to show the family friction created by this move. French does a good job of demonstrating the suffocating feeling of what it's like for Frank to walk back into this mix after escaping it for 20 years. Frank's father is abusive and an alcoholic, his mother is tough rather than warm and tends toward being verbally abusive. ![]() French's descriptions of the everyday banter and interactions between these family members are powerful and easily succeed at immersing the reader in their lives and neighborhood. PBR Book Review: (by- Linda ) This is a character driven novel that pulls the reader into the middle of a very dysfunctional Irish family. ![]()
