I Am Mary Dunne
Author: Brian Moore
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504050290
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
A day in the life of a mad housewife in Manhattan: “One of the truest and most awesome books I have ever read” (The Scotsman). She was born Mary Dunne. A New York actress in a stalled career, she’s previously been known as Maria and Martha. Married three times, she’s also been called Mrs. Phelan, Mrs. Bell, and currently, Mrs. Terence Lavery—wife of the esteemed playwright. No wonder Mary Dunne forgot her name this morning at the hairdresser. She has no idea who she is anymore. Or maybe she’s just crazy. She’s curious to find out. Over the course of a single day, Mary tries to recall more than her name. But as memories of her past come trickling back—infuriating, illuminating, and grievous—she realizes there’s so much she’d prefer to forget. As she tries to escape what she calls “the dooms,” Mary must confront what she’s done with her life—deliberately, haplessly, or by default. If only she were going crazy; it would be so much easier to explain it all away. Hailed by the Globe and Mail as a “feminist novel written before the wave of feminist novels began,” I Am Mary Dunne is “as complex and satisfying as anything Moore has yet done” (The Observer).

The Light Makers
Author: Mary O'Donnell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780993144332
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Photojournalist Hanna Troy is killing time on a summer walkabout in the city. As the afternoon progresses, her reflections unravel a raw, sometimes sensuous story of darkness and light. It explores a failing relationship, the anguish of a professional trying to become a mother and the complexities of a young and outspoken woman in Ireland's somewhat repressed 1980s. Considering the experiences of her contemporaries and evoking family events long past that still resonate, Hanna is determined that her own resilience will overcome the challenges she faces. When The Light Makers was first published it received widespread acclaim, with critics describing Mary O'Donnell's debut as 'compelling', 'powerful' and 'erotic'. It rated in the Irish best seller listings for weeks and became the Sunday Tribune's choice as 'Best New Irish Novel of 1992.' This is the novel's second edition.

The last two years have been monstrously unpleasant for high-society journalist Gus Bailey.
