Drawing on the Irish proverb, Ar Scath a Cheile a Mhaireann na Daoine – these fourteen stories by acclaimed Irish writer Eilis Ni Dhuibhne draw us into the lives of characters who are caught in a moment of crisis. Forced to confront choices they have made and the legacies of the past, their stories speak of hard-won experience, of regret and loss, of knowledge and sometimes painful illumination.
The Shelter of Neighbours is a powerful reminder that good stories reveal deep emotional and psychological truths that have the power to unsettle, provoke and move us.
