Summary of Mother of Sorrows
In these ten interwoven stories, two adolescent brothers face a world in which their father has suddenly died, a world dominated by their beautiful and complicated mother. Thirty years later, one of the brothers?the only remaining survivor of a family he seeks both to leave behind and to preserve in words forever?narrates these precise and heartbreaking tales. Suffused with the beauty of Richard McCann?s extraordinary language, Mother of Sorrows introduces us to an elegant writer like no other in contemporary fiction.Short Stories Books
