Book synopsis

Presenting nineteen of her best-loved tales, Telling is a triumphant demonstration of the achievement of one of Ireland's most boldly original writers. A PR man loses his professional self-assurance; a chance encounter with an ex-lover leaves a woman with an unnerving sense of the emptiness of her marriage; a young man suddenly finds himself the underdog in his life-long struggle with his twin brother. Bleak moments of self-discovery are counterpointed with characteristically wry humour, as Conlon uncovers with deft irony the double standards that bedevil dealings between men and women everywhere. Evelyn Conlon is one of Ireland's most esteemed writers of fiction. The Times has described her as: "a genuinely exploratory writer, true to every kink which her imagination puts into her characters … her work is excitingly original."
