Description - Come Back Irish by Wendy Rawlings
"When your world isn't working, you invent one," says one of Wendy Rawlings's characters in her new collection, Come Back Irish. In fourteen expertly crafted short stories, Rawlings takes the reader along for the ride as her characters try to invent new worlds in an effort to deal with how their lovers, exlovers, parents, and children have reinvented their own identities. Some must go home to live with parents after a failed relationship or cope with a child growing distant; others face the rejection of motherhood or their marriages falling apart. With an engaging style that combines playfulness and raw emotion, Rawlings tells stories with insights that are both heartbreaking and hopeful. Ranging from Long Island to small towns in Ireland to Colorado, Come Back Irish vividly captures the struggles of being a parent, a child, and a lover.
