Book summary

As he did in his movie "The Crying Game," Neil Jordan places an intensely personal story in the context of political and social violence in Ireland. Donal Gore has lost his mother; when the piano teacher Rose moves in with him and his father, Donal begins an affair with her. The relationship ends when he goes to fight--against his father's wishes--in the Spanish Civil War. Imprisoned, he is sustained by memories of night fishing with his father on the beach with his father. Upon his return, he finds that his father has married Rose. Donal's involvement with the IRA, his ties to Germany during World War II, and his father's service with the former Free State government provide the political context for Jordan's story.
