Happiness And Other Stories

Happiness and Other Stories is perhaps the most cherished of all the acclaimed collections by Mary Lavin, who was not just one of Ireland's major writers, but ranked among the greatest short-story writers of the twentieth century in the English language. The stories in this classic collection explore the relationships and intimate emotions of her characters that are from a vanished Ireland but still resonate today. Last published over four decades ago, New Island's Modern Irish Classics series brings this insightful and moving collection of stories back to life.
