Michelle Nic Phaidin tIriseoir

Annotation

Foreigean baile, saol scriosta, posadh cliste. Ealaionn Brid o Ghaoth Dobhair le dul i mbun iriseoireachta i mBaile Atha Cliath. Iriseoir diograiseach, abalta agus cumasach i, a mhuchann na cuimhni craite le trean oibre. Titeann saol Bhrid as a cheile agus i ag fiosru sceil ar a fod duchais nuair a aithnionn si go bhfuil a mac fein ina chroilar. A novel in the Irish language (there is no English language translation in the text) about domestic violence, a broken marriage, a life destroyed. Brid escapes from Gweedore to embark on life as a journalist in Dublin. She is a dedicated and capable journalist, and she finds solace and forgetfulness by throwing herself into her work to the exclusion of all else. But her life falls apart when she starts investigating a story in her hometown, only to discover that her own son appears to be deeply implicated in it.
