Life Through the Long Window builds on the success of Clare’s first collection, Short Steps in Long Grass yet the writing is deeper, causing us to enter into our own experience as we turn each page. We, as readers, are invited into the everyday, the tragic and the whimsical with a natural ease. In pieces such as Anniversary and Life through the Long Window, surface themes rapidly burrow towards deeper meanings.
Lynch’s courage in facing the real and putting it in words that score to the heart is possibly her greatest strength. Yet one of the first things that will strike you is the humour within these pages. Pieces such as Knock and Nugget carry the authenticity of sharp Cavan wit. Lynch’s warmth, edgy humour and spiritual reservoirs are ingredients that lead us into what is ultimately everybody’s story. Enjoy!
Praise for Clare Lynch
“A gentleness in the writing that is warm and comforting, a gift of observation that is razor sharp, a sense of humour that shines a light into the darkest of places, a truth that resonates in the heart. Clare Lynch’s writing is all of this, and more.” - Máire Nic Gearailt RTÉ Lyric fm, Presenter/Producer Lyric Notes
