Over dit product

Product Information

On a wild, windy April day in Manhattan, when Mary first meets John Keane, she cannot know what lies ahead of her. A marriage, a fleeting season of romance, and the birth of four children will bring John and Mary to rest in the safe embrace of a traditional Catholic life in the suburbs. But neither Mary nor John, distracted by memories and longings, can feel the wind that is buffeting their children, leading them in directions beyond their parents' control. Michael and his sister Annie are caught up in the sexual revolution. Jacob, brooding and frail, is drafted to Vietnam. And the youngest, Clare, commits a stunning transgression after a childhood spent pleasing her parents. As John and Mary struggle to hold on to their family and their faith, Alice McDermott weaves an elegant, unforgettable portrait of a world in fluxand of the secrets and sorrows, anger and love, that lie at the heart of every family.

Reviews
"Again and again, After This moves toward revelation and then modestly, modernly, pulls back, but not without a memory of what it glimpsed." New Yorker "Ms. McDermott gives us an affecting meditation on the consolations and discontents of family life.... And her easy authority with this material, combined with her clear-eyed sympathy for her characters, results in a moving, old-fashioned story about longing and loss and sorrow." The New York Times "It is hard to know how to start piling on praise for this gripping, poignant book....Before we are aware of what McDermott has done, we are completely engaged....Like magic, we are drawn in." Chicago Tribune "A master at capturing Irish-Catholic American suburban life . . . [McDermott] flawlessly encapsulates an era in the private moments of one family's life." Publishers Weekly, starred review "Word by word, metaphor by metaphor, McDermott writes the most exquisitely perceptive and atmospheric fiction published today. Heir to Woolf and Nabokov, she nets the totality of human consciousness." Booklist "After five penetrating novels and a National Book Award, McDermott infuses the undulating plot with the knowledge that lives become most vivid in small moments of connection . . . Genuinely moving yet amorphous, like a remembered fragrance that you can't quite place." Kirkus Reviews From the Trade Paperback edition., "Again and again, After This moves toward revelation and then modestly, modernly, pulls back, but not without a memory of what it glimpsed." -New Yorker "Ms. McDermott gives us an affecting meditation on the consolations and discontents of family life.… And her easy authority with this material, combined with her clear-eyed sympathy for her characters, results in a moving, old-fashioned story about longing and loss and sorrow." -The New York Times "It is hard to know how to start piling on praise for this gripping, poignant book….Before we are aware of what McDermott has done, we are completely engaged….Like magic, we are drawn in." -Chicago Tribune "A master at capturing Irish-Catholic American suburban life . . .

Genuinely moving yet amorphous, like a remembered fragrance that you can't quite place."-Kirkus Reviews From the Trade Paperback edition., Praise for "Child of My Heart": "[A] wondrous new novel . . . "Child of My Heart "extends [McDermott's] artistic triumphs, and we should rejoice." --"Los Angeles Times Book Review" "Has something classic about it . . . [Its] craftsmanship and its moral intelligence are as one . . .Immaculate." --"The New York Times Book Review""" "Richly textured, intricately woven . . . A work not only of, but about, the imagination." --Margaret Atwood, "The New York Review of Books" Praise for "Charming Billy": "For all her intricate narrative design, it is the depth of feeling in Alice McDermott's fiction--the losses tallied and the steps not taken, as finely calibrated as summer rain--that has brought her such high regard. With her prismatic truths and narrative switchbacks, she captures a world so internal that her characters themselves would hardly be able to express it; it is instead the perfect gesture--the barely noticed frown, the hand silently extended--that delivers the entirety of that hidden realm . . . "Charming Billy" is a remarkable and beautifully told novel, with overlays of prose and insight that are simply luminescent." --Gail Caldwell, "The ""Boston"" Sunday Globe", "Again and again, After This moves toward revelation and then modestly, modernly, pulls back, but not without a memory of what it glimpsed." --New Yorker "Ms. McDermott gives us an affecting meditation on the consolations and discontents of family life.... And her easy authority with this material, combined with her clear-eyed sympathy for her characters, results in a moving, old-fashioned story about longing and loss and sorrow." --The New York Times "It is hard to know how to start piling on praise for this gripping, poignant book....Before we are aware of what McDermott has done, we are completely engaged....Like magic, we are drawn in." --Chicago Tribune "A master at capturing Irish-Catholic American suburban life . . .
