Product Description While she waits for an appointment at the Women's Centre that has been delayed, Hanna Troy wanders around Dublin and thinks about her life both what has happened to her and how she has handled it...She watches while one after another of her contemporaries gets married and has children the path she assumed she would follow, too. But Hanna and her husband, Sam, don't have children. Hanna goes to doctors and clinics, but Sam refuses to be tested...Hanna's insightful recounting of her experience offers encouragement because it shows how she learns to survive the disappointment meted out to her in life...A brilliant portrayal of a point of view that reminds readers of the singular nature of the human condition.Booklist. ""The convincing picture drawn of these Irish thirtysomethings and the urgency of the pain at the heart of the novel make it a compelling read. As does the subtle central image of lightmaking, beautiful and replete with meaning.""Irish Times. From Publishers Weekly A kaleidescopic jumble of flashbacks dilutes the power of this first novel's moving scenes depicting a troubled marriage. Freelance photographer Hanna Troy, whose union with successful architect Sam Wright is foundering over their inability to conceive a child, becomes enraged when she discovers Sam is having an affair with his provocative young assistant. While waiting for a counselor at a women's crisis center, she searches her past for clues and comfort. Awardwinning Irish poet and short storywriter O'Donnell ( Strong Pagans ) adroitly explores the dynamics of Hanna's eccentric, closeknit family and also excels at evoking a sense of place: a park in Dublin comes alive with street musicians and dancers; a marketplace in Alexandria, Egypt, glows with color and vitality. The Alexandrian scene, which hints at the possibility of a marital reconciliation, is a neatly encapsulated gem of detailed, articulate writing, unlike the confusing flashbacks. Unfortunately, Hanna's consistently sullen mood and the selfpitying whine of her firstperson narration give the book an unpleasantly sour tone. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
