Status Updates From Amongst Women

Just the type of book i love—plot not near as essential as character. Irish. Moran and Rose—im holding my breath. Dont forsee a happy ending…tho there was so much promise of that. Though perhaps im focusing on the wrong part, the love story. It is, of coyrse, “amongst women”….

Love ❤️ it so far. Great characters who are written so well. Love crotchety Moran

There is a lot of palpable characterization in John McGahern’s ‘Amongst Women’ that is discoverable in its short length thus far. The family in the story feels like a family you’ve met or been a part of in your life. I’m sure a lot of people (myself included) can relate to the unspoken and dysfunctional dynamics of an emotionally absent, patriarchal family that emphasizes control through domestic tyranny.
