This book is also entertaining, powerful, laugh-out-loud, feel-good reading with tragic and tear jerking elements.Told in multiple points of view Keyes knows how to bring out her characters flaws and insecurities, laying them bare but in turn making then more likeable and relatable. There's this whole parade of MCs each of which have their own personality, quite developed, one that they aren't shy to demonstrate throughout the novel. I am always impressed when a book is over 600 pages and yet doesn't feel like it's an effort to read; the best sign of an engaging storyline. But this - tonight - was as bad as Rory, that same light-headed combination of disbelief and stone-cold certainty: something terrible had happened. It also gives you a lot to think about in terms of what asylum seekers are and aren’t allowed to do in Ireland and it may very well be the same in the UK.
