Irish Girls About Town: An Anthology of Short Stories
It’s
an Irish smorgasbord! 16
Irish women authors have banded together and produced a delightful
collection of short stories, not only for your reading pleasure,
but also to benefit two charities in the UK and Ireland –
Barnado’s and The Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
This book includes stories from popular best-selling novelists such
as Marian Keyes (Angels, Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married,
Watermelon…) and Maeve Binchy (
Tara
Road
,
Circle of Friends…), as well as up-and-coming Irish authors, such
as Catherine Barry and Colette Cadle.
Included are “Soulmates” (Marian Keyes) about the
absolutely perfect couple who drive their friends nuts, “The Ring
Cycle” (Martina Devlin) about a woman who was able to ditch her
nutty husband but is haunted by her wedding ring, “The
Twenty-Eighth Day” (Catherine Barry”) about a normally balanced
woman who is hormonally challenged by PMT once a month, and
“Moving” (Colette Cadle) about a woman who carries a torch for
a lost love and wonders why she only seems “happy enough”
with her handsome husband and two beautiful children. There
are lots more to amuse you with their Irish wit and charm, and
you can finish one or two stories in a sitting.
Irish
Girls About Town is a great way to sample different writing styles,
discover a new favorite author, and do a good deed.
