Mary Lavin is the great unsung voice of Irish fiction. Here are her very best, most electric stories: illuminating, moving, arrows in flight.
'This is a wonderful collection, and a reminder that Mary Lavin was - is - one of Ireland's greatest writers' Roddy Doyle
Mary Lavin's stories feature ordinary people in the tight confines of ordinary life. From rural Ireland and the streets of Dublin they charm, irritate and intrigue in complicated brilliance, appearing to us with unique freshness. Good friendships, bad deeds, frustrations, missteps, hope and laughter are all found in captivating stories where real and astonishing things happen.
Few women were so consistently published in the New Yorker and yet today Lavin's work is largely unpublished and overlooked. This collection re-establishes her as one of the most genius, irresistible and memorable voices of the last century.
SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY COLM TÓIBÍN
'She is, to come right out with it, magnificent' New York Times
'A feast of quiet humour and heartbreak' Emma Donoghue
'Mary Lavin's stories conjure sadness, profundity, hilarity and wildness out of thin air. They are simply masterful' Colin Barrett
'Mary Lavin's stories are a delight. They are delicate, but not too delicate to carry tragedy on one shoulder and comedy on the other' Sunday Times
