Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years. This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege

Katkeransuloinen kahden nuoren kasvukertomus. Lukiosta yliopistoon siirtyvät päähenkilöt etsivät itseään ja paikkaansa maailmassa, välineenä erityisesti heidän välinen suhteensa. Kirjailija kuljettaa tarinaa ja kehittää hahmojaan taiten, eikä kirjaa meinannut malttaa laskea käsistään.
Pidin erityisesti kirjan lempeydestä hahmoja kohtaan. Tässä tavoitettiin jotain nuoruuden kipuilun herkkyydestä.
