The Springs of Affection by Maeve Brennan
In the stories that compose this scintillating collection, Maeve Brennan turns her anatomist's eye to the ugly feelings that teem just beneath the surface of family life - doing so, however, with an attention to detail that makes these unsparing portraits luminous and exquisite.
'These feel transparently modern, the way that Dubliners by Joyce feels modern..Brennan remains precise, unyielding: something lovely and unbearable is happening on the page.' - Anne Enright
