Sinopsis
Alice McDermott is a novelist and short story writer who won the national Book Award for Fiction in 1998 with her perceptive novel, Charming Billy . In it, Billy Lynch has just passed away, and as forty-seven of his best friends and family gather; it is revealed that he died from alcoholism. Charming Billy spans three generations of Irish Americans living in Queens, NY, from the 1940’s to the end of the twentieth century. The unnamed narrator is the grown daughter of Billy’s cousin Dennis. As the friends gather to comfort his widow they begin to trade stories of his immense charm, poetic gentle soul and his famous humor. The book explores problems that characterized the working-class Irish in that time period, such as poverty, fading identity and alcoholism. A superbly written, captivating tale.
