As someone else who's moved around a lot your description of disconnect resonates with me. It's good to hear you're coming back to North America for wholesome reasons, are you planning to stay put once you're here?
I hadn't heard of these volumes, so it was nice to see some thoughts on them from you :) I may check out Exciting Times, though I'm currently abstaining from buying more books - I'm in the bad habit of buying them faster than I read them!
I think at the very least my partner and I will be in mtl (maybe we’ll go to a suburb eventually where it’s quieter/cheaper) until he gets his passport, then we’ll have more flexibility. After that maybe we’ll go elsewhere, we’ll see what makes more sense for us economically and logistically. I think we’ll probably end up staying on this side of the ocean bc it’s just what’s more practical. Also I’m tired of moving. But I told him I want to retire in Southern Europe lol. We’ll see though.
Exciting times is nice! The audiobook was nice. Do you know the overdrive/Libby app? If not you should download it. With a public library card you can access ebooks and audiobooks for free. It’s really great. If you know / like sally Rooney, then you’ll like exciting times. It’s in a similar genre of Irish millennial literature :)
