Polly Dugan

    La escritura de Polly Dugan capta un momento en el tiempo y sigue su desenlace posterior. Sus personajes, predominantemente de origen católico irlandés, se enfrentan a sus defectos, fe, moralidad, mortalidad y circunstancias. Aunque los animales aparecen a menudo en sus historias, no son historias de animales. Su prosa explora de forma aguda las cargas emocionales y morales del alcoholismo, el aborto y la infidelidad, entrelazadas sin fisuras a lo largo de generaciones. Dugan expone hábilmente secretos familiares y examina los efectos dominó de las decisiones emocionales en las vidas de sus personajes.

      The poignant story of what happens when a woman who thinks she's lost everything has the chance to love again. Leo has long joked that, in the event of his death, he wants his best friend Garrett, a lifelong bachelor, to marry his wife, Audrey. One drunken night, he goes so far as to make Garrett promise to do so. Then, twelve years later, Leo, a veteran firefighter, dies in a skiing accident. As Audrey navigates her new role as widow and single parent, Garrett quits his job in Boston and buys a one-way ticket out west. Before long, Audrey's feelings for Garrett become more than platonic, and Garrett finds himself falling for Audrey, her boys, and their life together in Portland. When Audrey finds out about the drunken pact from years ago, though, the harmless promise that brought Garrett into her world becomes the obstacle to his remaining in it.
