Riassunto

In a series of four interlinked novellas, four generations of an Irish farm family share unfulfilled dreams, missed opportunities, and compromised moral decisions, from a dairyman who falls for the younger sister of a woman he jilted, to a spinster who remembers her love for a soldier shattered by his World War I experiences. A first collection. Winner of the 2005 Story Prize. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A remarkable achievement . . . There is a wonderful Irish music running through O’Keeffe’s prose, yet his tales of ordinary rural life in twentieth-century Ireland are unsparing and never sentimental.” —The Baltimore Sun

“Handsome, subtle narratives by an exquisitely talented Irish-born writer.” —Elle

“Lush and evocative . . . a dreamlike collection.” —The New York Times Book Review
