A young Irish girl falls in love with an older married professor and has her first date with heartache; a middle-aged woman attends her niece's wedding and drunkenly surveys the wreck of her own life and love affairs; a young woman admires her kind and beautiful neighbour so much that she is almost drawn into a not so innocent profession ...\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdversity, sometimes disaster, befalls Norma Harrs's characters, but instead of destroying these people, it often miraculously enriches their existence, bringing them a sudden awareness of what had been wrong with their lives and inspiring them to make a fresh start.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMs. Harrs seamlessly weaves together plot and evocative detail, wildly funny turns of events and inconsolable sadness; her stories' earthy eroticism, their startlingly vivid dialogue and, above all, their breathtakingly original rendering of suffering and joy will remain with the reader long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176261370096,"sku":"9781554886876","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554886876_p0.jpg?v=1763785410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554886876","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
