27 juni 2001 | alphen aan den rijn, Nederland


Contemporary Irish Fiction, dealing with topical issues. Nesbitt questions the role of the church in modern times. Does it offer solace to those who have to endure the limitations of physical handicap in a country where prayer is supposed to cure all ills, and where practical solutions are left to charity rather than government policy? Nesbitt takes these and other issues, and wraps them in a cloth of imagination and comes up with a novel, written with skill, yet without melodrama or pity. The result is a universally appealing page-turner.

Beschrijving

In a seemingly ordinary street, the livos of ordinary people are forever changed by the arrival of Maud Phelan and her mother Kitty. Physically disabled Sheila McGann and her mother Eileen are immediately captivated by these exotic creatures who live across the road from them in a camper van. As time goes by the ties that bind the four women strengthen until their lives melt into one symbiotic existence. Maud and Kitty experience the lust, passion and illicit affairs, while Sheila and Eileen vicariously enjoy the adventure from the safety of the sidelines, until adventure turns inevitably to tragedy. Set in Ireland in the 1970's The Cloths of Heaven is Sheila's recollection of the parallel existence she and her mother shared with Maud and Kitty. Sheila attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding the past and finds her loyalties torn between being true to Maud or true to the parish priest, Michael Daly, who has been sucked into Maud's fantasies.
