Riassunto

Last published over four decades ago, Happiness is perhaps the most cherished of all the acclaimed collections by Mary Lavin who was not just one of Ireland's major writers, but ranked among the greatest short story writers of the twentieth century in the English language. From the title story, which echoes her own experience as a widow with three young daughters, the stories in this classic collection explore the relationships and intimate emotions of her characters that are from a vanished Ireland but still resonate with vivid brilliance

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Born in the Massachusetts of Irish parents in 1911, Mary Lavin moved to Ireland at the age of four. Her debut collection of stories in 1943, Tales from Bective Bridge, marked her out as a short story writer of brilliance to rank alongside peers like O'Connor and O'Faolain, who brought a new and piercing female perspective to that form. Her work received numerous international awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Katherine Mansfield Prize, and many of her stories - like the title story of this collection, were first published in the prestigious New Yorker.
