Description:
At high speed and with wicked humor, Emer Martin introduces us to a family unlike any other. Long after her husband -- who is literally unable to cross a threshold -- is institutionalized, Molly moves her children from the west country of Ireland to Dublin. She is following her daughter Aisling, her favorite, who is to attend college there. But one summer, Aisling disappears.
Expand description
Fifteen years later, Molly persuades the youngest and most reliable of her four girls, Caoilfhoinn, to put her own life on hold and find Aisling. Traveling the world with various of her siblings, Caoilfhoinn sees that each is cursed with their father's affliction, "the doubting disease". In one way or another, each is stuck, paralyzed. Many questionable adventures, an uncertain reunion, and a stunning betrayal later, Caoilfhoinn is forced to question the familial attachments that have always driven her.
As Stephen Dixon wrote of Martin's first novel, Breakfast in Babylon, the mood here is "hot, mad, and exciting, like a young writer's...work should be".
