'These are stories which powerfully address an important theme: the poignance and fragility of private lives in the shadow of public events. They mark out the balance and imbalance--the joy and defeat, the darkness of cruelty against the sweet ordinariness of life--in vivid and witty writing which never loses its compassion.' - Eavan Boland, author of In a Time of Violence
Bernard MacLaverty lives in Glasgow, Scotland. His books include Lamb, Cal, and Grace Notes, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the Saltire Scottish Book of the Year Award.
