Spanning thirty years and three continents, The Green Road tells the story of Rosaleen, the matriarch of the Madigan family, and her four children, two boys and two girls. The story then follows the family throughout three decades.
Good points:
Anne Enright knows how to get inside her characters.
Some beautifully written phrases.
Bad points:
It is similar to "A Spool of Blue Thread" in that here is a lot of whining, although the reason behind it is unclear.
The first half was a chapter book. Each chapter about a different person in the family. The second half they come together and you see the workings of the family and that's it. Nothing. No ending no point.
