Beschreibung

<p><b><i>*</i>From the Booker-shortlisted author of <i>Small Things Like These*</i></b><br><b><br>Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. </b><br><br><i>The evening is fine. In the sky a few early stars are shining of their own accord. She watches the dog licking the bowl clean. This dog will break her daughter's heart, she's sure of it.</i><br><br>Claire Keegan's mesmeric story takes us into the heart of the Wicklow countryside, and of the farming family of Victor Deegan, with his 'three teenagers, the milking and the mortgage'.<br><br>When Deegan finds a gun dog and gives it as a present to his only daughter, his wife is filled with foreboding at this seeming act of kindness. As the seasons pass, long-buried family secrets threaten to emerge.<br><br><b>Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.</b></p>
