I love the whole idea of this novel and it got my attention right from the first page indeed from the cover, The story of playwright John Synge and actress Molly Allgood was an intriguing and enjoyable read. Something about this book and the characters facinated me and I had to google the story just to see how much is true. This is a very well written book I read it as part of goodreads group read it was a great choice.
