The Light of Evening Main edition
Edna O'Brien
Such is the wrath of the mothers, such is the cry of the mothers, such is the lamentation of the mothers. Ageing Dilly Macready lies in her hospital bed in Dublin, awaiting a final visit from her estranged daughter, Eleanora, an author who fled rural Ireland years before, after her sensual first novel caused a local scandal.
