<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Premiered at Dublin's Abbey Theatre, this multi-award-winning play is about five impoverished spinster sisters in a remote part of County Donegal in 1936. With them live Michael, seven-year-old son of the youngest sister, and Jack, the sisters' elder brother, a missionary priest newly returned from Africa. The even's of that summer are narrated in recall by the adult Michael, unfolding a tender study of these women's lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>It is 1936 and harvest time in County Donegal. In a house just outside of the village of Ballybeg live the five Mundy sister, barely making ends meet, their ages ranging from twenty-six to forty. Braian Friel evokes not simply the interior landscape of a group of human beings trapped in their domestic situation, but the wider landscape, interior and exterior, Christian and pagan, of which they are nonetheless a part.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There is no doubting we are in the thrall of as masterly a dramatist as the theatre possesses." --"The Times"<BR><br>
