I gave it 4 stars because I felt like the ending was weird and abrupt and just didn't fit the rest of the story. It just felt off for some reason. I listened to the audio book and really loved the narrator. Very easy book to listen to/read and got sucked in quickly. I'm excited to read the second book. Crazy that it came out 9 years later!<br><br>[spoiler] This book takes place in the 1950s about the main character who is Irish and she moves <u class="showmore_hide">to Brooklyn to get a job. She gets homesick and ends up starting night school to keep her busy. She is living with a lady who many girls live with. There's house drama. And there's a priest who helps her too. Love the 50s settings, i could feel it. The store starts selling nylons for black people and that was a big deal. It made me sad, much like the state of racism today. You'd think since the 50s it would have improved. Anyway, she ends up meeting a boy at the "dance" - which just reminded me of my grandmother and great aunt talking about going to the dances. And that was in the 30s and 40s. She meets a boy and she does like him. But she is definitely more reserved than he is when it comes to the emotions, but she comes around. I wouldn't call it deep love from how the book describes it, but she does seem to care for him. Her sister suddenly dies, so she goes back home. And prior to leaving, she promises him that she'll come back. And he convinces her they should get married before she leaves. And she agrees. Oh, they also banged before this. So she goes home and that's where the end of the book just seems to race to the end. She's back and she's hanging out with friends and in no time, she's making out with some other guy. I guess it was to prove that she really didn't love her husband. But it just seemed weird. It seemed to happen fast. There was no build up. They hung out twice or something and then they're making out? It just didn't seem to fit her character, I guess. And I felt so horrible for the mother. She had no one there in Ireland. Rose died, and the son lived somewhere else. And the mother was hopeful that her daughter would now stay and marry this guy she seemed to be hitting it off with. Word got back to a town gossip that she was with someone back in Brooklyn and that scared her to finally book her trip back home. Her mother was strong but devastated. And this other guy, she just left a note at the door and left. And that was pretty much the end of the book. Like bam. What? I still enjoyed the story even though the ending felt rushed. I feel like I"m always saying, "this book could've been shorter" but this book could've been longer! I don't say that too often!</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_7d3f17e0');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_9e430ded" title="4 Stars" aria-title="4 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="8" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="6" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="7" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_275503076" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_275503076"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_275503076" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_275503076" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_275503076" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_275503076"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/Mav-n-Libby" target="_top">Mav-n-Libby</a> | <a href="/work/7636753/reviews" data-workid="7636753" data-title="Brooklyn-Eilis-Lacey-Series" class="" >311 other reviews</a> | Nov 21, 2024 | <a href="/review/275503076"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_275167571" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/25654406" data-workid="25654406" data-title="The-Shortest-Day" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61jrneDaZML._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61jrneDaZML._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61jrneDaZML._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/25654406" data-workid="25654406" data-title="The-Shortest-Day" class="" >The Shortest Day</a> by <a href="/author/tibncolm">Colm Tóibín</a></div></div><div class="showmore" id="u_93ea9fbc" >This was a wondeful short story!
