The Liminal : Notes on life, race and direct provision

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

A long-haired woman moves into the priest's house and sets fire to his furniture. And in the title story, a priest waits on the altar for a bride and battles, all that wedding day, with his memories of a love affair. In her long-awaited second collection, Claire Keegan observes an Ireland wrestling with its past.
