The
story of Nora, who has just lost her husband Maurice, and has to work her way
through her grief before she can be more optimistic about the future and her
life with her young sons and improve her relationship with her older daughters
who have left home. It is set on the East Coast of Ireland, with some references
to the contemporary politics of the late 1960s to early seventies.
Oonagh
thought it improved on 2nd reading. Others described it as immersive while you
read it, but easy to get distracted.
It
was described as about a process;
Nora
had disappeared into her marriage and now it had tragically ended, had to chart
a path through to a more independent future.
On
discussion we thought Nora a not very likeable character but
understandable.
Marks,
