Fionnáin reviewed The Sea by John Banville
Review of 'The Sea a Format Ome' on 'GoodReads'
3 stars
A story written with a grandiose flare about a protagonist who returns to a seaside town that holds childhood memories in grief at the loss of his wife. The writing is beautifully constructed, visually dripping, but the story fails to hold up to the prose. Enjoyable, but hard to discern what message to take from the book.
