This is a story that starts as quite disjointed, but pulls together as the book progresses. Set in Ireland in the troubles, is starts with an escaped prisioner who fights for the cause of a united Ireland and the elderly woman whose house he takes refuge in. There is his effect on the local population set against her life story. It moves backwards and forwards between her time spent in America, her marriage (not happy) and her present against the police activity chasing the escapee down and their current situation. It's not a simple story to keep straight, the different perspectives and timeframes make it sometimes hard to place who is being described. But it is worth sticking with. I read and enjoyed her memoir "Country Girl." This one I did not like so much. It’s a novel about an I.R.A. man on the run from the Garda who hides out in a large country house empty except for its owner, an old woman, whom he makes his hostage. Some good prose, and some thoughtful exploration of the psychic and moral scars left by civil war and terrorism, but it was very scattered, and I found it hard to follow. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
