By John McGahern, 1990
A masterpiece
which begins with one of the great opening sentences: "As he weakened,
Moran became afraid of his daughters."
McGahern's version
of what love and togetherness does to families is dramatic and stark. At its
heart is the idea that Ireland, rather than being a nation or a community, was
a place of isolated families, bitter individuals and gnarled relationships.
