A collection of twenty-one stories centering three Irish families from The New Yorker's acclaimed "Long-Winded Lady," Maeve Brennan The stories collected here trace the patterns of love within three Dublin families. Love between husband and wife, which begins in courtship and laughter, loses all power of expression and then vanishes forever.
