The Temptation of Eileen Hughes by Brian Moore

The Temptation of Eileen Hughes by Brian Moore

Eileen Hughes, twenty years old and never before out of Northern Ireland, has arrived in London for a week's holiday with Bernard and Mona McAuley, who are not only her employers but also, she believes, her friends. In Brian Moore's masterful handling, this seemingly simple story darkens and expands, exploring the nature of obsession--both spiritual and erotic--with an elegance, anarchic playfulness, and imagination that recall Henry Green or Muriel Spark.

The Statement, No Other Life, Lies Of Silence, and The Lonely Passion Of Judith Hearne are among Brian Moore's nineteen novels. Moore was nominated for the Booker Prize three times. In 1999, he passed away.
