The Queen of Dirt Island

This was a lovely novel that felt mostly like a series of sequential short stories, maybe because each chapter was short and ended with a little punch. I loved the women of this book – their strength and sense of humor, their vulnerability and resourcefulness, and their abiding love for one another. I listened mostly (delightful brogue), but read the last 30 pages because I was eager to see how it would end. Not too sad, not too twisty, but simple storytelling in an Irish town and family.
