Disappointing. The synopsis gives totally the wrong impression of the plot. The first 50% of the book is focused on Ireland, it's politics, art and poetry. There is talk of climate change and eventually a trust is set up to research and advise. The hurricane on Miami doesn't happen til 70% in and is finished by 90%. This is really the story of Mary-Louse and Matthew. Everyone is super-brilliant. Everything Irish is wonderful. Even Scarface redeems himself, though I'm not sure if he or Kay is needed in the book. I find it hard to believe that the strongest ever hurricane to hit Miami does not travel up the coast causing more destruction.
This was definitely not for me. The writing was good but I wouldn't have read it if the synopsis had been more accurate.
