Sweetland by Michael Crummey



To be honest I almost walked away from Sweetland about half way through, but on a whim decided to continue reading it.  I'm glad I did.

  • This novel is about the importance of place, this is an interesting concept as society becomes increasingly mobile.
  • This novel is about identity and loss, and how these factors shape characters.
  • There is much more to the main character than it seems.  This is revealed about 85% of the way through the book.
  • The novel jumps around chronologically, often quite rapidly.
