House of Splendid Isolation: A Novel - Gripping Literary Fiction for Book Clubs & Contemporary Readers | Perfect for Cozy Reading Nights & Thought-Provoking Discussions

The IRA character, McGreevy, has lost a lot including his wife and daughter, but believes there are no alternatives to his participation in "the armed struggle." Unfortunately, there were very few ways for someone like him to live a peaceful life, which is by no means his fault. Sure, he is responsible for his actions, but so are those governing Northern Ireland.I wish I could say, to someone like him, peace, out now, but I am not sure I can do that.Read this disturbing book. Edna O'Brien is brilliant.
