This is a very nice book. It has a simple plot which examines the motives and responses of a triangle of adults as they sort through their lives.

(# 2 in the Eiliss Lacey series)- 

These books should be read in order – the first in the series is Brooklyn in which Eilish moves from Ireland to New York while the second is Long Island taking place about 20 years later.  I didn’t find a third title, but I imagine it will be available in due time – or maybe not. I caught the sense of an ending at the end of this one.

But there are other errors reverberating back 20 years as Eilis Lacey, a 1950w immigrant to the US from Ireland (book 1), and her husband, Tony Fiorello whose own large family is from Italy, look at the pieces of their lives.  There are a few significant relationships which change in some way following a single serious error on the part of a husband.
