Description
In this poignant collection of stories, mothers and sons navigate the complicated bonds of love, estrangement, loyalty, grief, and desire. Set largely in contemporary Ireland, the narratives bring together criminals, artists, mourners, and outsiders whose lives are shaped by the enduring—and often uneasy—pull of family. The collection concludes with a longer tale set in Catalonia, where isolation, survival, and unexpected companionship deepen its exploration of human connection. Observant, emotionally restrained, and quietly powerful, these stories reveal the hidden histories and conflicting emotions that lie beneath intimate family relationships.
