Product Description

The 21 stories collected here trace the patterns of love within three Dublin families. Love between husband and wife, which begins in courtship and laughter, loses all power of expression and then vanishes forever. The natural love of sister for brother and of mother for son is twisted into the rage to possess. And love that gives rise to the rituals of family life that grow solid as a rock will never give way.

"Remarkable ... Fiction of the highest order, controlled, wise, and fearless. Not many writers go this deep or far from home."
