What readers are saying

Readers appreciate the depth and complexity of characters in this poignant play. Many find the portrayal of Josie Hogan a standout, with her strength and vulnerability drawing emotional responses. The writing is often described as beautiful and moving, while the themes of addiction and family dynamics resonate deeply. However, some note a male-centric perspective in the storytelling, reflecting the era in which it was written.
