  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I particularly liked Eveline, Grace,  The Boarding House, and A Painful Case. 

I was very much intrigued by the frequent mentions of alcohol, drunkenness, alcohol abuse/alcoholism. I thought it connected the stories very very well, even in simple and minute ways. 

This was a great intro to Joyce and I am quite excited to continue reading his works!
