Synopsis
John McGahern is widely considered to be one of Ireland's greatest writers, with fans including John Updike, Hilary Mantel, Colm Tóibín and John Banville. Often hailed as his greatest work, Amongst Women is a poignant novel of family and togetherness.
Once an officer in the Irish War for Independence, Moran is now a widower, eking out a living on a small farm where he raises his two sons and three daughters. Adrift from the structure and security of the military, he keeps control by binding his family close to him. But as his children grow older and seek independence, and as the passing years bring with them bewildering change, Moran struggles to find a balance between love and tyranny.
'A masterpiece . . . It is the sort of book which you can give anyone of any age and know that they will be changed by it.' Colm Tóibín

Review
'An overwhelming experience.', The Times
'A book that can be read in two hours, but will linger in the mind for decades.', Sunday Telegraph
'Compact but not dense, spare yet rich, and brimming with tension.', Observer
McGahern brings us that tonic gift of the best fiction, the sense of truth... a sight that cleanses us even as it saddens and frightens., John Updike
