Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

How much is an individual the product of his or her upbringing? To what extent is the sense of family, its pride and bonding, a part of an individual's soul and character? Ann O'Farrell narrates a story of a family's inexplicable dissolution-five children tragically split and cast off to separate worlds. In the span of fourteen formative years their story unfolds, touching the very core of what is the essence of family and attachment. Set in the rural Ireland of the 1920's and 30's, the tale is wonderfully painted in expressive detail, settings and emotion. This is a mindful and moving experience reflective of parents, siblings, and those of us sensitive to today's family-based challenges and values.
