About this listen

A long-haired woman moves into the priest's house and sets fire to his furniture. That Christmas, the electricity goes out. A forester mortgages his land and goes off to a seaside town looking for a wife. He finds a woman eating alone in the hotel. A farmer wakes half-naked and realises the money is almost gone. And in the title story, a priest waits on the altar for a bride and battles, all that wedding day, with his memories of a love affair.

In her long-awaited second collection, Claire Keegan observes an Ireland wrestling with its past.

not my ideal read

I am probably not a short story reader, I tried this and it was ok, a bit sad and depressing but not one I shall remember

Meh

This is a compilation of eight short stories some of which are triggering which was not revealed in the brief description. Wish I had returned it.
