Beschreibung

<p><b>The celebrated second novel by </b><b>''one of the greatest writers of our era'' (Hilary Mantel) and ''the Irish novelist everyone should read'' (Colm Tóibín) is ''a perfectly written tour de force'' (<i>Sunday Times</i>) and ''the best novel to come out of Ireland in many years.'' <i>(Irish Times</i>)</b><br><br>Set in rural Ireland, John McGahern''s second novel is about adolescence and a guilty, yet uncontrollable sexuality that is contorted and twisted by both puritanical state religion and a strange, powerful and ambiguous relationship between son and widower father. Against a background evoked with quiet mastery, McGahern explores with precision and tenderness a human situation, superficially very ordinary, but inwardly an agony of longing and despair.<br><br><b>''Wise and compelling ... Elegiac and graceful.''</b> David Mitchell<br><b>''I have admired, even loved, John McGahern''s work since his first novel</b><b>.''</b> Melvyn Bragg</p>
