"e;With a mood akin to WUTHERING HEIGHTS--and indeed the spirit of Emily Bronte"e; (Irish Times), Edna O'Brien's critically acclaimed novel WILD DECEMBERS charts the quick but sure demise of relations between "e;the warring sons of warring sons."e; Here in the countryside of western Ireland, "e;ancient feuds, romantic passions, and misguided ideas of fidelity blend together in . . . [a] heartbreaking story"e; (Wall Street Journal) leavened by the human comedy of which O'Brien rarely loses sight. A sister, a brother, and a stranger converge in a classic triangle, proceeding inevitably "e;toward a climax that is Irish to the quick, violent and sad and, in a strange way, beautiful. Just like the novel itself"e; (Washington Post).WILD DECEMBERS is a triumphant work from a writer who wears well the mantle of her Irish forebears and yet who, with each new novel, breaks new ground all her own. In this, her latest, "e;readers could not ask for a more profoundly satisfying book"e; (Boston Herald).
