Summary

Ryan follows the fate of four generations of a family, more precisely the women in it: the men are present most often as uninvolved extras, as weak-willed secondary characters, outright villains or unrepentant dead. In 121 chapters, reduced to two laconic pages each, there are lyrical prose, language that flows like honey from a spoon, direct speech inserted into the author's so that it sounds like music and embodies the beauty of the written word. This magical rhythm measures the days and moments of life in the deep Irish countryside with its daily concerns: birth and death, past and present, happiness and enmity. The images of the four women - the mother-in-law, the early widowed daughter-in-law, her daughter Saoirse and the young Pearl, are so bright that you want to live with them for a while. Because whatever sufferings and cruelties, whatever prejudices and clashes they go through, these brave Irish women show that if you carry love in your heart, nothing under this sky can frighten and stop you.
