Although these are separate stories, they form chapters in a man's life. He knows the characters - in Dublin, the West of Ireland, London, provincial England- and they know him. His descriptions are intimate, sympathetic but their lives are sharply drawn. A young Muslim woman moves to a Dublin Street; a married man meets a married woman to make up for a failed night of their youth; a London woman keeps a window open to remind herself that suicide is available. Through each story the overarching narrator also becomes clearer: we see the tension between who he is and the pull of what might have been. As conclusions bring opposites together, in this book, Time is the great character. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are timeless, classic Irish short stories in the vein of William Trevor and Brian Friel, poised and carefully observed vignettes of the lives that compose modern Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenny, Adrian","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51743008227667,"sku":"9781843519560","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":51914363044179,"sku":"XV81843519560","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kenny-adrian-adrian-kenny-mint-other-stories-2025-9781843519560-1190199594.jpg?v=1758124125","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/adrian-kenny-mint-other-stories-2025","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
