Product Description
Scenes From A Country Wedding presents a rich tapestry of characters new to Irish fiction: Pauline, youngest sister of bridegroom Desi Heaslip, wanted by her boyfriend Kevin in a manner completely alien to her mother's understanding; Kal, the divorced sister, courted again by elusive Pat MacMenamin; cousin Father Gerry Costello, banished from his overseas mission, who finds his vocation crumbling; the Heaslip sons and their wives, a generation for whom the rules of the game have changed; and the older age-group, enjoying the air of freedom and ease against a background of neighbourly, gleeful scandal -mongering. Maura Treacy's first book, Sixpence In Her Shoe, marked her out as one of the best of Ireland's brilliant new short story writers 'a great writer in the making' was how John Broderick described her. Now Scenes From A Country Wedding puts her in the front rank of contemporary Irish novelists.
