Description

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, Toibin's spare, highly controlled novel tells the story of three women, each of a different generation, whose longtime enmity is softened by the death from AIDS of young Declan, a beloved relative. The story, which takes place during Declan's last few weeks, provides a metaphor for the demise of the old Ireland, in which homosexuals were vilified. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
