I listened to the audiobook for this one and the reader was. Not good. She kept saying the ends of sentences REALLY SOFTLY for no reason whatsoever and when Lib got upset, which was often as it's that sort of book, she didn't sound so much upset as melodramatic. 
 Still, the book itself was very, very well done and dealt with the complexities of the Irish relationship with Catholicism in a very fascinating way. It seemed fairly clear that the Irish relationship with the church was heavily influenced by their relationship to England, that there was solace to be found in religion but it came at a heavy price. 
 There are definitely points in the book where you roll your eyes at Lib (you know what they say about assumptions!!!) and you want to yell that she's asking. The wrong. Questions. But I do think that's consistent with the character and the period. It would be a much less interesting book if Lib didn't have a whole lot of assumptions to unpack about the people around her and they never become Lib Has A Lesson and Learns Something, which is always nice as they are boring reading. 
 It's a seriously dark book though, so fair warning.
