Donoghue's first book is a lesbian coming of age story, at the University of Dublin in 1989. Enjoyable characters and atmosphere, not much for plot. (

Goddamit, the ending made me scream. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. (

Eh. I probably would have liked this book more if I'd read it as a teenager. I liked the characters mostly, the story was fine, I liked the writing style, but it just fell flat for me for some reason. (

I drew up a list culled from a Metafilter posting on happy books to read and this was one of them... This was a charming coming-of-age story set in mid 80s Dublin. Maria is a clueless college freshman from the sticks who movies in with two women who end up being a big part of forming her views on life and relationships. Nothing earth-shattering, just sweet and comfortable (as advertised) (

The writing style is lovely, especially at the beginning, when I could hear in my head the lilting cadence of the Irish speakers, despite no diacritical cues. Lots of slang and other interesting indications of ubiety - in fact, too many, because this is not universal and is already dated. Meaning, that it doesn't feel relevant and therefore interesting, any longer, to me.

The portrayal of the young student was implausible in that she was ever so naive, and ever so disturbed to discover that her roommates were lesbians. I mean, I know this is Ireland, but still. And the lesbians themselves were portrayed oddly, as if to lend credence to the bigots' theories about them. That is to say, one is clingy and has little sense of self, and the other is predatory, but as a mask for even deeper insecurity. (
