Atmospheric and time-locked.
Not quite coming-of-age, not quite first love story, wrapped in a subtle folklore-inspired magical realism.
Characters were sometimes difficult to distinguish as they shared a lot of (understandable) similarities being rebellious youth stuck in small Irish towns despite the generations of difference.
A melancholic read that stands out not for the story itself, but for its development of atmosphere and literary writing style.
