Organizer’s description
Recommended Stories: * The Journey to Galway * The News from Dublin * Five Bridges We're going Irish this November, with a collection from an author I've always wanted to read. Apologies for posting this a bit late. See you there! For First-Timers: We recommend reading at least one story, but feel free to read as little or as much as you'd like! Discussion is open, informal, and we try to focus on the recommended stories listed above. About the Collection: Nine stories of quiet, restrained realism — Tóibín's signature mode — mostly circling Ireland, exile, and the things families don't say.
