Nothing But Blue Sky by Kathleen MacMahon

5.0

This is about a man's grief after losing his wife. This book floored me. I wasn't expecting to like this book so much. I would say wonderful but the subject matter is morose. I have read many a novel about a taciturn man, and they never seem to capture real people for me. I find most of Anne Tyler's novels are like that. This one shows a couple who are complete opposites. It is a novel about surviving trauma. I teared up a few times. It is entirely possible that I liked this novel so much because it is from an Irish author. I love Irish lit. Regardless, I absolutely love this book. It gets a 5/5.
