Book Description: The townland of Kilroan in the 1970s is at risk of being trapped for ever in an earlier version of itself, a time when shell-shocked soldiers returned from the trenches, and convent orphans could be billeted as servants on poor farmers; a time when a glamorous Irish American finds her liberated ways mean flirting is flirting with death, and a chance meeting on a train means the postman's widow must face her past. Patrick O'Keeffe's Ireland is a precarious world, but it is also a place of natural beauty, of laughter, of family closeness, a place where stories can change lives. These four unforgettable novellas mark the emergence of an original and exciting new voice. : Review: ‘It is a poignant, beautifully written story' -- Sunday Tribune: ‘This is vibrant, demanding, first-rate writing to keep you on your toes' -- Independent on Sunday : From the Publisher: An exciting new Irish voice in the tradition of William Trevor and John McGahern : Winner of The Story Prize 2005 Size: 12.8 x 19.8 x 1.8 cm. 272 pages.
