Faber 90th Stories brings together some of our finest short stories, past, present and future.
The evening is fine. In the sky, a few early stars are shining of their own accord. She watches the dog licking the bowl clean. This dog will break her daughter's heart, she's sure of it.
The Forester's Daughter by Claire Keegan takes us into the heart of the Wicklow countryside, exploring the life of the farming family of Victor Deegan, with his "three teenagers, the milking and the mortgage".
When Deegan finds a gun dog and gives it as a present to his only daughter, his wife is filled with foreboding at this seeming act of kindness. As the seasons pass, long-buried family secrets threaten to emerge.
