Fox Swallow Scarecrow by Eilis Ni Dhuibhne
Anna Kelly Sweeney, a writer, lives in Dublin with her wealthy husband Alex and her son Rory. But Anna is not happy. Sensing the emptiness of her existence, she falls for Vincy and prepares to abandon home, for the dream of an all-conquering love. As events unfold, her sense of herself as both a woman and a writer is shattered.
'Ni Dhuibhne has a great way of mixing and merging the realistic with something otherworldly, like crossing an Alice Munro or an Anne Tyler with an Angela Carter or a Jeanette Winterson' Books Ireland 'Ni Dhuibhne's writing is marvellous, building layers of impression until a complex, vital and true-false picture of liberation is revealed.' Irish Times 'Her observations are lemon-fresh, her writing beautiful, witty and wry.' Sunday Express
