A simple story, simply told about a woman overcoming her grief following the death of her husband and moving in new directions. It is possibly a tribute by Toibin to his mother. However, the book teeters on the brink of banality and even its evocation of a small town in 1960s Ireland is not strong. However, it is worth reading for the quality of the writing.
