Midwinter Break
Gerry en Stella Gillmore, een stel op leeftijd uit Schotland, hebben een lang weekend Amsterdam geboekt. Om er zogezegd even uit te breken, dingen te bezichtigen, nieuwe energie op te doen. Voor Stella staat er echter meer op het spel. Misschien moet ze een rigoureuze stap zetten. Met een verborgen agenda stapt ze het vliegtuig in. Gerry, een gepensioneerde architect, leeft steeds meer in zijn eigen wereld. Stella maakt zich zorgen over hun relatie en ergert zich in toenemende mate aan zijn leefstijl en de minachtende wijze waarop hij haar becommentarieert als het gaat om haar geloof. Tijdens het verblijf in Amsterdam moet duidelijk worden of er nog toekomst is voor hun beiden. Gebeurtenissen uit het verleden in hun thuisland Noord-Ierland blijken diepe sporen te hebben getrokken.

Bernard MacLaverty
"This newly updated version of Richard Rankin Russell's pioneering study combines heartfelt appreciation for the artistry of Bernard MacLaverty's fiction with discerning critical assessment of its moral complexities and historical contexts. Russell makes a compelling case for MacLaverty as contemporary Northern Ireland’s preeminent novelist and story-writer." - David Holdeman (coeditor of W. B. Yeats in Context) "This revised, expanded, and thoroughly up-to-date edition of Richard Rankin Russell's volume remains the indispensable companion-and compass-for any serious student of MacLaverty's creative works." - Richard Haslam (associate professor, Saint Joseph's University) "Bernard MacLaverty has remained creative and productive as a writer well into old age, so Richard Rankin Russell has updated his classic study of MacLaverty's fiction to take account of his most recent novel and collection of short stories. Fittingly, this new edition's sections on Midwinter Break and Blank Pages are among its highlights." - Marilynn Richtarik (author of Getting to Good Friday: Literature and the Peace Process in Northern Ireland) "This full-length study of a very popular and well-regarded Irish writer is lively, comprehensive, and critically acute: it is an admirable account of MacLaverty's art." - George Watson (professor of Irish literature, University of Aberdeen)

Vacances d'hivern
Llibre de l'any al Guardian, Sunday Times, Irish Times, Herald Scotland i Mail on SundayGuanyador del premi Bord Gáis a la millor novel·la de l'anyUna parella de jubilats, en Gerry i la Stella Gilmore, volen a Amsterdam per passar-hi un cap de setmana llarg amb la intenció de descansar, recuperar energies, visitar museus i, en termes generals, evaluar què en queda, de la seva vida. La seva relació de parella sembla estable, fàcil i sense sorpreses, però durant aquests quatre dies afloren les profundes incerteses que els separen i la distància potser insalvable que han acumulat amb els anys. I quan reapareixen els records d'una època convulsa a la seva Irlanda natal, les coses comencen a ensorrar-se. Bernard MacLaverty és un escriptor excepcional i delicat, d'estil elegant i precís i d'una honestedat fonda, que ens brinda una novel·la tendra, íntima i punyent, una petita joia sobre l'amor que ha patit el pas del temps."Vacances d'hivern és una novel?la d'una precisió emocional i una compassió extraordinàries que parla sobre com acceptar, de manera honesta, l'amor i la pèrdua de l'amor, la memòria i el dolor... Una novel?la enormement ambiciosa escrita per un artista al punt àlgid del seu poder creatiu", Colm Tóibín."La prosa de MacLaverty és enganyosament senzilla i gratificantment directa i honesta. Però el tema central d'aquesta novel·la que fa temps que esperàvem ?la resistència i les tensions inherents en l'amor que sobreviu molts anys? és qualsevol cosa menys simple i directa. És el material del qual està feta la vida", Richard Ford.
