Review of 'Ask Again, Yes: A Novel' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Well written, character-driven, spanning three generations of two Irish-American families in New York. I thought the writing was great, but when I went to recommend it to another friend who had actually already read it, her response was, "I found it horribly depressing." I include that in case you're looking for a book that's up-lifting. That said, I didn't find it depressing. Yes, there were some tragic events and circumstances, but at its core, this is a book about the complexity of relationships and the sacrifices we make for others.
