Description

About the Book

In this "elegant and darkly human" ("Newsday") first novel, Grace Quinn is an English woman living in rural Ireland with her abusive husband and her son Martin, whose open homosexuality her husband refuses to accept. "Excruciatingly suspenseful".--"New York Times Book Review".

Book Synopsis

Grace Quinn is an Englishwoman living in rural Ireland. Isolated by religion and circumstance, she endures both an abusive husband and a strained relationship with her son, Martin, whose open homosexuality her husband refused to accept. After an act of desperation, reeling with doubt and denial, she seeks out her son in Dublin. Keith Ridgway "affectingly renders the separate sanctuaries of mother and son . . .and lights the distance between them" (The New Yorker).

Review Quotes

"This is a murder story and a love story, and an original and dramatic insight into the clash of cultures and moralities in contemporary Ireland. The pacing is superb; the novel is written in spare, clean prose. The Long Falling is a brilliant first novel." - Colm Toibin --
