The children quietly observe Aunt Veronica, who drowns her sorrows in drink. Aunt Agnes, a caustic career woman, and finally Aunt May, the ex-nun, blossoming with a late and unexpected love, dutifully absorbing the legacy of their less-than-perfect family. Alice McDermott beautifully evokes three generations of an Irish-American family in this \"haunting and masterly work of literary art\" (The Wall Street Journal).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312429436\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0312429436.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McDermott, Alice\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
