Paperback. Condición: Fair. Friendship, love and isolation - both self-imposed and involuntary - and the quiet bravery of one woman are at the heart of this new novel. The time is the recent past, a period of unprecedented re-examination in Ireland. Diverse but tightly knit, the men and women of this novel are related to each other by family ties or by the simple fact of living in the same Dublin street and their skilfully interlinked stories reflect the pressures - and pleasures - generated by rapidly changing social values. Flexibly shifting from straight narrative to a chain of lively, intimate correspondence, A Glassful of Letters is a novel for our times.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This collection of eleven stories by one of Irelands best writers is a compelling exploration of what comes from moving about the place. In these stories, Evelyn Conlon vividly imagines her characters all over the world: Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Italy, Monaco, in a house with two drills of vegetables in Skerries. A couple spend their lives wandering around the equator because of a lie they told during anti-apartheid days; one person holds out in a border-straddling tree; a woman from Hiroshima makes the decision to get pregnant; an Irishwoman attempts to assassinate Mussolini, another fights for women's suffrage in Australia.Brilliantly written, witty, and full of the sharp observation for which Conlon is well known, Moving About the Place brings together some of the best of her recent work, along with brand-new stories, including a novella, to show how borders, movement and history change and transform peoples lives.A genuinely exploratory writer her work is excitingly original.
