A pair of sinister old ladies prowl the countryside for a child to make their own. And a poet looking for inner calm buys an ancient inn on the west coast of Ireland but finds instead rancorous locals and catastrophic floodwaters.Kevin Barry's dazzling language, razorsharp ear for the vernacular, and keen eye for the tragedies and comedies of daily life invest these tales with a startling vitality.
