exciting times (book - naoise dolan)
I enjoyed this book, although I found it took me a long time to read - I didn't ever get absorbed and read it for long periods at a time. I related to the main character's anxiety, and liked the use of and comparisons of language (Irish, English, colonial English, Cantonese). It was an unusual setting (an Irish woman in Hong Kong) and dealt with a lot of issues surrounding identity, which I always enjoy.
