Two Days In Aragon

Molly Keane · 2013
80/100
👍 Worth It

Molly Keane at her sharp, economical best — a portrait of an Anglo-Irish world coming apart at the seams, written with the kind of elegant savagery that makes every character feel both specific and inevitable. The secret affair and political violence are handled with discretion, but the emotional compression of the final act packs genuine weight. A real literary find for readers who enjoy Irish fiction and the Virago Modern Classics tradition.
