Description

The iconic debut novel by 'one of the greatest writers of our era' (Hilary Mantel) and 'the Irish novelist everyone should read' (Colm Toibin). Elizabeth Reegan, after years of freedom - and loneliness - marries into the enclosed Irish village of her upbringing.

The children are not her own; her husband is straining to break free from the servile security of the police force; and her own life, threatened by illness, seems to be losing the last vestiges of its purpose.

Moving between tragedy and savage comedy, desperation and joy, John McGahern's first novel is one of haunting power. 'Marvellous.' Susan Hill, Times'Reminds one of the young Joyce.' Spectator'Wise and compelling ...

Elegiac and graceful.' David Mitchell'I have admired, even loved, John McGahern's work since his first novel.' Melvyn Bragg
