Description

This scintillating collection of 21 stories by Maeve Brennan explores the complex lives of three Dublin families. With an anatomist's eye for detail, Brennan reveals the resentment and rivalry that simmer beneath the surface of family life.

These unsparing stories are both claustrophobic and expansive, pitting imagination against circumstance as they follow ordinary people worn down by life's little humiliations. Yet, despite their struggles, these dreamers remain defiantly hopeful of a better future.

A new introduction by acclaimed novelist Claire-Louise Bennett adds depth to this remarkable collection, shedding light on Maeve Brennan's innovative and important writing style.
