Zeven vrouwen hebben een kamer geboekt in het sjiekste hotel van Dublin. Verhaal geschreven door zeven vrouwelijke Ierse auteurs.

A marriage and a family reach breaking point on an annual holiday in the loveliest hotel in Ireland. Dermot Bolger is one of the leading figures on the Irish literary scene. Very influential, amazingly energetic and prolific, popular and extremely well respected. Dermot writes fast-paced, incredibly readable novels, usually with a thriller element, always about Ireland, more often than not about its Troubles. 'Temptation, is quite different. It is about family life. It describes five days in the lives of Alison, her husband Peadar and their three children, who are taking their annual holiday on the southeastern coast of Ireland. Each member of the family has his or her own hopes for the holiday and preoccupations about the lives they are briefly leaving behind. The holiday serves as a turning point in their lives, as Alison and Peadar,s marriage is put to the test and the vulnerabilities of their children are brought to the fore. Previous novels have always featured a female central character, and Dermot seems to love writing from a female perspective - and very good he is at it too. This new novel takes this strength and makes the most of it. Paciness and great readability are packed in there too.

The first collection of plays from one of Ireland's most accomplished contemporary writersThis volume contains four plays: The Lament for Arthur Cleary: "Theatrically rich and socially powerful, it takes on the lineaments of an epic voyage, a voyage into the dark heart of a city where Irish theatre has seldom been before" (Irish Times); In High Germany: "Thoughtful, comic, sad and provocative, this monologue of a lost and altered heritage … These two plays [In High Germany and The Holy Ground] are cogent manifestations of a changing Irish world" (Irish Times); The Holy Ground: "A tour de force. It's stream of consciousness theatre at its best … [which] develops a pace until the listener is hanging on to every syllable" (Sunday Press); Blinded by the Light: "Manically madcap and hilariously funny, it canters in a bawdy romp onto the stage, heralding the arrival of a unique comic writing talent. Energetic, perfectly timed and brilliantly observed" (Irish Press)

Dans une longue lettre qu'il écrit à son fils, le narrateur évoque l'incroyable année que fut pour lui 1988 : la veille de la demi-finale de l'Euro 88, que l'Irlande allait perdre, il apprenait que son amie était enceinte. Émigré de fraîche date en Allemagne, il savait qu'il ne rentrerait pas au pays, qu'il ne suivrait plus tous les matches de l'équipe irlandaise avec ses copains de toujours, et qu'il basculait définitivement dans l'âge adulte. A son fils de onze ans, mi-allemand, mi-irlandais, il raconte son enfance irlandaise, il dit la nostalgie de son pays, et la difficulté de vivre loin de ses racines. Également dans cet ouvrage : Le journal d'un poète, sélection de courts poèmes sur la vie quotidienne dans une petite bourgade irlandaise.
