The All of It: A Novel
แแ แแแฌแแแแแก แจแแกแแฎแแ
Jeannette Haienโs award-winning first novel relates the seemingly simple tale of a parishioner confiding in her priest, but the tangled confession brings secrets to light that provoke a moral quandary for not only the clergyman, but the reader as well. Perfect for fans of Claire Keegan.
While fishing in an Irish salmon stream one rainy morning, Father Declan de Loughry ponders the recent deathbed confession of his parishioner Kevin Dennehy. It seems Dennehy and his wife, Enda, had been quietly living a lie for fifty years. Yet the gravity of their deception doesnโt become clear to the good father until Enda shares the full tale of her suffering, finally confiding โthe all of it.โ
Haienโs intimate novel of conversations and dilemmasโperfect for readers of Paul Hardingโs Tinkers, Marilynne Robinsonโs Gilead, and Flannery OโConnorโs Wise Bloodโis โan elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale of morality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh wayโ hails the New York Times Book Review. This special edition includes an introduction by Ann Patchett.
