Jack McNulty ist ein Gentleman auf Zeit, ein Ire, der vorübergehend als Offizier im Dienst der britischen Armee steht. Er hat als Ingenieur in Afrika gearbeitet, als Bombenentschärfer in London sein Leben riskiert, den Torpedoangriff eines deutschen U-Boots überlebt und als UN-Beobachter die Unabhängigkeit Ghanas begleitet. Es ist 1957, die britischen Truppen sind endgültig abgezogen, doch Jack zögert seine Abreise hinaus, er »lungert in Afrika herum wie ein abgehalfterter Missionar«. Bevor er nach Sligo und zu seinen Kindern zurückkehrt, will er reinen Tisch machen mit seiner Vergangenheit, denn Jack McNulty ist auch ein Feigling, ein Waffenschmuggler, Trinker und Glücksspieler, der seine einst so schöne und geistreiche Frau Mai um Erbe, Gesundheit und Leben gebracht hat. Getrieben von Reue, schreibt Jack seinen Lebensroman, die Geschichte eines Mannes, der sich schuldig gemacht hat, eine Elegie auf eine große, verlorene Liebe.

Good for Raina Telgemeir fans

A decent read, it wrestles a bit with a couple of different topics of anxiety, racism, family dynamics, sports, and friendship in fits and bursts. I guess my main critique was it felt a bit shallow (no pun intended) with most issues resolved rather quickly and easily once characters put their minds to it. The Hollyhoke's team also seemed to be pretty toxic making it a wonder why someone would want to go there other than that it's wealthy.

I really enjoyed this book of short stories
Format: Paperback
I loved this book. It was the first time I ever read anything by Simone De Beauvoir. It is difficult but I think the title story was my favorite, watching the character go down hill so rapidly and in such detail showing her growing obession was oddly relatable, her self hatred towards her body towards the end of the story I would not try and presume to state what the "moral" of the story was... but that is exactly what I am going to do about now check it.................... I think that the main Character should have developed a concept of self outside her marriage her marriage was her identity and when that fell apart she had nothing...no sense of self it was a compelling read a little uncomfortable but I like being a littel uncomfortable when I read............

Excellent writing, but rather depressing (but perhaps accurate?).

Breath taking novel
Format: Kindle
I am not a fan of both fiction and non-fiction novels, my English is pretty bad as well. yet, here I am, and I'm planning on reading more in the future only because of this book. It's heartbreaking and breathtaking at the same time. Not saying the book is beautiful or any like that, but you will find yourself in a painful place when you read this. A painful feeling which makes you feel like you got stabbed in the heart but all the air in your lung is stuck out, no voice screams out and you can’t do anything with it.
