Sinopsis

Louise, a middle-aged Irish emigrant, returns to Dublin for Christmas after 30 years living in New York City. While waiting for her son to join her, she visits a friend whose home overlooks an old monastery. The building reminds Louise of her youthful love affair with Peter, a Canadian monk, who at the time lived in the same monastery. The couple, like their predecessors in medieval times, shared a passionate but impossible love. Although it examines the serious subject of priestly celibacy, the novel has many humorous scenes as the lovers try to resolve their dilemma.

Críticas

Mary Rose Callaghan hits the nail on the head every time in this sharply observed novel set in the zany world of semi-Bohemian Dublin a generation or two ago. That shabby city of gas meters, broken pay phones, lasagne and cheap wine, is recreated as never before. Young people pursue their heart-breakingly emotional, side-splittingly absurd love affairs in dilapidated bed-sits and seedy pubs, settings that seem as far away as the Middle Ages which are also evoked, cleverly, in the novel. This is a real tour de force. --Éilís Ní Dhuibhne
