The Bitter Glass

Összefoglaló

Another powerful novel, set in the West of Ireland, during the Civil War, by one of the country's most distinguished writers. A group of young people, cut off in Connemara by IRA action, are forced to come to terms with life and death. As the plot builds to its inevitable climax, their haunting experiences change their lives and their hopes forever. This is a disturbing and unforgettable book.

'The Bitter Glass... has a rounded excellence which comes from a mature technique and imagination of high quality. Without being in the least overwritten or sentimental, this is a most poetical book.'
The Times

'An excellent piece of work... full of reality, full of poetry, written with a very sure and sensitive hand. I was completely won by it... the world of Connemara was flawlessly conveyed... I was never more at home in a book'
Eudora Welty
