Description:

One of the preeminent Irish writers of our time, John McGahern has captivated readers with such poignant and heart-wrenching novels as Amongst Womenand The Dark. Moving between tragedy and savage comedy, desperation and joy, McGaherns first novel, The Barracks, is one of haunting power. Elizabeth Reegan, after years of freedomand lonelinessmarries into the enclosed Irish village of her upbringing. The children are not her own; her husband is straining to break free from the servile security of the police force; and her own life, threatened by illness, seems to be losing the last vestiges of its purpose.
