Together, these stories capture the frustrations and grace of characters struggling to free themselves in places that are often hostile to their desires: a new bride coming home to her husband's prim family, two butlers taking a rare opportunity to go out drinking, a woman pleading with her dying husband to repent, and a young housekeeper whose fortunes seem to have suddenly changed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in decades, and with a foreword by Christine Dwyer Hickey, the Modern Irish Classics series brings this vital collection to a new generation of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Lavin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848406940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848406940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Island Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.72h x 5.04w x 0.87d","brand":"Mary Lavin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943310098687,"sku":"9781848406940","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8733b939-85a9-454e-ba62-a1041b99cb41.jpg?v=1681497402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-becker-wives-mary-lavin-9781848406940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
