Description for Ingne Dearga Dheaideo
Paperback. 195pp. Bog/Paperback. Tá éagsúlacht ábhar in Ingne Dearga Dheaideo, mar is dual do chnuasaigh ón údar céanna. Sa chéad scéal, Anam Mná, caoineann máthair bás a céadghin, agus is maith mar a chuireann an t-údar síos ar an mbriseadh croí agus ar an díchreideamh a ghoilleann uirthi. Déanann Iníon cur síos ar oíche fhada a chaitheann athair ag fanacht go bhfillfidh a iníon óg ón dioscó. Beirt chailleach a speireann a chéile le clocha i gcath fíochmhar i Manhattan atá faoi chaibidil i M'Uncail Máirtín agus Cailleacha Mheiriceá. Ar na téamaí a chíortar sa chnuasach seo tá an chumha, an aois, an choimhlint shíoraí idir an sean agus an nua, agus an saol mar a fheictear don pháiste é. Ingne Dearga Dheaideo has the variety that readers have come to expect of a Pádraic Breathnach collection of short stories. The opening story, Anam Mná, explores the plight of a mother mourning the loss of her first-born child, and brilliantly captures her devastation and disbelief at what has happened. Iníon describes a father's anxious wait for the return of his wayward teenage daughter from a night out. M'Uncail Máirtín agus Cailleacha Mheiriceá is a wonderful, parable-like tale of two witches in Manhattan who engage in a fierce stone-throwing battle. The author explores a wide range of themes in this collection, including grief, old age, the eternal struggle between tradition and modernity and life through the eyes of a child.
