Daimons by Nina Fitzpatrick

Young and pregnant Athna is cast out by her Mother in shame, to live in a shack on the shores of Uggala (Ireland) until after she gives birth. Only Danny and Father Francis seem to accept her for who she is. Athna struggles to be accepted by society and her family, and come to like herself.

Cleverly written in alternating chapters through each persons "Daimon". I found the mysticism of each (persons) Daimon very interesting and intriguing. I also enjoyed the Irish setting. Overall I found Daimons a satisfying story of family, friendship and love. I feel others will enjoy it as well.… (plus d'informations)

Unfortunately, only the first story of Nina Fitzpatrick's story collection Fables of the Irish intelligentsia is brilliant and humourous.

Humour is based on a subtle balance or recognition and expectation, and sufficient banter in the margin. While Fables of the Irish intelligentsia is a short story collection, characters from the first stories re-appear in later stories, creating a sense of unity. This is badly needed in a collection which sweeps broad and wildly through ideas and world views which no one would associate with Ireland. The result are hilarious stories, with very few points of recognition, while the readers falls from one unexpected situation to the next. Incoherent, and ultimately, of little true interest. Very disappointing.… (plus d'informations)

Magical novel by Nina Fitzpatrick, who is the co-author of "Fables of the Irish Intelligentsia". Reminds me of Rebecca -- quick-witted, ache-ingly real, but tending to the exaggerated, with a lush sense of place.

Wickedly funny short stories, mocking academia and relationships.
