Review written but didn’t stick. Short recap: The title is ironic. No bliss in their marriages. Foolish choices made. Their spark for life has been weakened. Cait might lose her child. Edna O’Brien again depicts Irish women’s lives in 1964 with a keen eye and wonderful writing. It’s dark.

The spark of life in them has gotten beaten down.How often was this the case then in Irish society. It’s set in in 1964. Edna O’Brien again brings the reality of life and it’s truths alive in great writing."
