This book consists of a remarkable suite of four monologues: „The Orphan”, „The Master”, „The Landlord”, and „The Mother”. They place in counterpoint, the stories of a mother and her daughter, a landlord, and the Master of a workhouse in mid-19th century Ireland. In the immediate aftermath of the „hard hunger”, and against the backdrop of other miseries — an American Wake, poverty, deaths in childbearing — Eugene McCabe relates memories, confessions, and apologies. Through nimble shifts of time, perspective, and voices, he reveals why he is celebrated as a chronicler of complex historical predicaments and the details of social nuance. In this memorable fiction, his imagination and narrative artistry are at their most vital.
