Description
In Claire Keegan’s mesmerizing story, the Wicklow countryside becomes the setting for the farming family of Victor Deegan, with its three teenagers, milking and mortgage. One fine evening, as early stars appear in the sky, a woman watches a dog licking its bowl clean and senses that the animal will break her daughter’s heart. When Deegan finds a gun dog and gives it to his only daughter, his wife feels foreboding at this apparent act of kindness. As the seasons pass, long-buried family secrets threaten to emerge. This volume is part of Faber Stories, a series of individual books presenting masters of the short story in a range of genres and styles, and a celebratory collection of collectible work bringing together the past, present and future in its ninetieth year.
