Through the events of a single day in the life of Elizabeth Winters, we see decades of pain, betrayal, and resentment build to a devastating climax.<br> <br>Against the fearsome beauty of the Fermanagh landscape, the fate of McCabe's heroine, Beth, slowly and suspensefully unfolds. Born to a Catholic mother and an unknown Catholic father, conceived shortly before her mother's marriage to Protestant Billy Winters, Beth has lived a life of silent suffering since her mother's death. Determined to decide her own fate but doomed to repeat the tragic circumstances of her birth, McCabe illuminates her quiet, searing power with the tenderness of a poet, offering up a powerful, lyrical indictment of the tensions that tear families and nations apart.<br></div> 234873 2005 Death and Nightingales total:12|5:4|4:4|3:3|1:1| 12 46 27 3 4 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 06:39:42 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 06:44:19 -0800 2009
