Title: Vital for anyone interested in Boston's Tribal divisions
Review: After reading Carroll's American Requiem, I was eager to read this novel. The story revolves around the ethnic divisions in Boston and the experience of Irish Americans in particular in the Kennedy era. Carroll's characters are not as predictable as some, although their experience is representative. The dynamic between the two main characters is interesting, and the textual flow keeps you thinking. I recommend this novel to anyone who is of Boston Irish heritage, or finds the ward politics of that time period enthralling!
