Thank you @elainefeeney.bsky.social for #letmegomadinmyownway The perfect title for signaling how the protagonist deals with herself, her generational trauma. (And once again, brilliant settings. This will be another Feeney book that stays with me in my thoughts)

The closer I got to the end of this great novel, the slower I read. I now need all my friends to read it because there's so much to talk about: curragh, O'Toole, chaos, lines and curves, masculinities, Tadhg's island, loss, Jaimie and the ocean... Thank you to @elainefeeney.bsky.social

Shoutout to Elaine Feeney for her fascinating new multi-generational family story about grief, inheritance, and learning to live with the past, Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way, which is a Fall Selection for The Booksellers’ List!
