After teaching Irish poetry and drama, tiny_bookbot decided this summer she needed to read more Irish fiction written in the last 100 years. First up is John McGahern’s character study of a bitter former soldier, Amongst Women. "McGahern cannily sets up the novel so as to explain but never excuse Moran’s behavior."
