Stories by Irish writers including Maeve Binchy An outstanding collection of twelve coming of age stories by Irish and Irish American writers.
Maeve Binchy's 'When Grania Grows Up' pinpoints the moment a girl who believed in happy families loses her innocent faith in people;
Marita Conlon McKenna writes of a teenage romance that triggers hostilities between Catholics and Protestants;
the title story by Shane Connaughton deals with macabre humor with a teenage boy rumored to have committed a murder;
and Helena Mullkerns' 'Landlocked' is about an Irish girl waitressing in Texas and beginning to understand the complex dream of immigrant life.
The authors include established writers and some exciting newcomers. In their very different ways each succeeds brilliantly in conveying the universal longing of the young to grow up, to love, and to start a new life.
