The End of the Class War

From: $13.95

by Catherine Brady

Finalist for the WESTAF Book Award

The End of the Class War, a finalist for the WESTAF Book Award, explores the lives of working-class Irish American women contending with the holy trinity of the Irish: melancholy, melodrama, and morbid guilt.

“Women today are under enormous pressure because they try to fulfill their traditional role when they have also gained the freedom—and the burden—of choosing other roles as well. At the heart of these stories is the struggle between what we owe our families and ourselves, particularly when it comes to our children; this struggle can’t be neatly, permanently resolved.” – Kate Brady
