When All Is Said
Autor Anne Griffinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2020
Griffin's stunning debut, brimming with irresistible Irish-isms, is an elegy to love, loss and the complexity of life. -People Magazine One of Goodreads' 43 Most Anticipated Reads of 2019 "Beautiful. Intimate. Tearful. Aching and lyrical. So simply and beautifully told." -Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author I'm here to remember-all that I have been and all that I will never be again. If you had to pick five people to sum up your life, who would they be? If you were to raise a glass to each of them, what would you say? And what would you learn about yourself, when all is said? At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual -- though tonight is anything but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story. Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerfully and poignantly laid bare. Beautifully heart-warming and deeply felt, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said and done.

Recenzii
[An] impressively confident debut ... Maurice Hannigan emerges as an engaging, compassionate creation
Anne Griffin's debut novel is a must read. Beautifully observed, masterful story telling - stunning!
There is something special here . . . The next big name to emerge from the Irish writing scene.
Griffin is a magical storyteller whose prose is effortless and clear. She conjures an intimate, poignant and ultimately enthralling portrait of a man who has battled loneliness and other demons throughout his life. Maurice is superbly well-realised: a character who tries to make amends and, in so doing, cracked my heart.
A book to savour, and pass on. An absolute joy
A hugely enjoyable, engrossing novel, a genuine page-turner.
Maurice Hannigan is a wonderful invention, whose bitter-sweet meditations will stay long in the reader's mind. Anne Griffin has fashioned a rare jewel.
This is how you tell a story
[Anne Griffin] builds a remarkably rich sense of place, while also tracing the wider changes affecting Ireland. ...Maurice is a lovingly rendered example of the current vogue for characters who have fallen through the cracks
Beautifully written, unhurried and thoughtful, and a character you love from the off.
As candid a portrait of human frailty as you're likely to find. Griffin is uncannily accurate in her depiction of that peculiarly Irish emotional paralysis we're all familiar with.
Pitch-perfect prose ... Moving and beautifully written, this is a wonderfully assured debut.
A proper tear-jerker, but one that will ultimately leave you feeling hopeful
A warm and wise treasure of a book with a character whose voice draws you in from the start
A rich and moving story, a poetic voice and unforgettable character in Maurice
It's all beautifully done; a tale told in the plain but poetic prose of a man who recognises the tragic truths gleaned from a life of love and loss. A gem of a book
This could be one of the big book hits of 2019
An atmospheric debut ... The most impressive aspects of this first novel are its rich, flowing prose, its convincing voice and its imaginative and clever structure ... Griffin is a welcome arrival to the literary scene
Griffin's strength is in voice and in the rhythm of her prose ... She is excellent at interrogating the complexity of Maurice's barriers
A rich, fluid debut novel
A heartfelt and impressive debut novel
Poetic and touching without being sentimental, When All Is Said by Anne Griffin is something special.
An emotional yet uplifting novel - we defy you not to fall in love with Maurice Hannigan and his heart-warming story.
Will stay with you long after you close the cover
Beautifully written, this is a feast of Irish storytelling
A powerful page-turner ... wonderfully poetic, atmospheric and moving.
When All Is Said captures the texture of a night catching up with an old friend - the pleasures and comforts, the stories and surprises - one that you never want to end, and all the more bittersweet because you know, of course, that it must.
Maurice Hannigan is one of those rare and unforgettable characters whose lives we enter, inhabit for a time all too brief, and emerge from deeply changed. Anne Griffin is a writer with a bright, bright future.
A warm and nourishing story from a writer of much promise.
Griffin's debut is a beautiful and poignant page-turner.
A fine literary debut from a writer I'm sure we'll hear more from
Superb ... incredibly moving without ever straying into sentiment

A heart-warming, heart-breaking and poignant debut of rare power.
Griffin's stunning debut, brimming with irresistible Irish-isms, is an elegy to love, loss and the complexity of life.
An accomplished debut. A sensitive layered description of grief and regret . . . excellent
Beautifully realized
A portrait of a life in which revenge, love, loss, and misunderstanding all play their part . . . This is a wonderful piece of story-telling that is intimate, compassionate and extraordinarily assured.
Anne Griffin's first novel has taken Ireland by storm . . . Immediate, often funny, sometimes dark and, on occasion, devastatingly sad.
Nearly 40 years of publishing has made me a cynical reviewer of books, but, oh my god, it's impossible to be churlish about discovering such a fabulous and unforgettable character. A one-hit wonder this is not
A gentle tale of an irascible Irish farmer, who spends the last day of his life toasting the five people who have meant the most to him- sure to move even the stoniest of hearts
