Beautiful, lyrical prose that makes your heart hurt as the lives and loves of three generations of Irish women unfold, full of loss, regret, pride and resentment, hurt and love that is stronger than all of the above, propelling their lives forward. Their lives unfold in short vignettes, artfully composed to lull the reader into the story even as the story is painful, and the outlook glum, it manages to be uplighting and heartwarming. A wonderful story-it is fiction - but it felt real- the emotions genuine, plausible and current. It was food for thought for this mother. I will be reading more of Donal Ryan's work.
My book, Redeemed, A Memoir of a Stolen Childhood will be published June 25, 2024. Keep checking for book cover and other details.
