A review by marcela1016
The O'Briens by Peter Behrens

4.0

There is so much beautiful writing in this book. I'm not sure if (in the end) the plot comes together in quite the way I wanted it to but the writing is just so strong it kept pulling me back in. Told in a series of episodes through the life of a generation of O'Briens, this book operates more as a series of stories than a novel. Some of the episodes/stories are stronger than others but the writing is compelling throughout.
