{"product_id":"stay-isbn-9780385680622","title":"Stay","description":" \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e follows Abbey, a young woman from Canada now living in a village outside Galway. She falls in love with Dermot, an older Irish man, in an unconventional, affectionate but troubled relationship. \u003cbr\u003e     The extraordinary skill of \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e lies in its unsentimental depiction of modern Ireland. The inhabitants of Dermot's village form a riotous and poignant chorus, commenting on their rapidly changing world with wit and insight. Here is a beautiful, funny and richly rewarding novel about history and obligation, and above all, the meaning of human connection in a land poised uneasily between past and present. • \"For all the complexity in Hunter's book . . . there is also a minute attention to detail and an elegance in the natural dialogue. Hunter heaps ideas on you, ideas you want to stop and think about, in such a subtle, tender way that you never feel assaulted, but rather protected.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • \"Hunter has created a redolent, peat-reeking sense of Ireland, mournful but sometimes blackly hilarious. . . . The smell of life is what makes \u003ci\u003eStay\u003c\/i\u003e so compelling.\" --\u003ci\u003eVancouver Sun\u003c\/i\u003eAISLINN HUNTER's acclaimed collection of stories, \u003ci\u003eWhat's Left Us\u003c\/i\u003e, was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Award and the ReLit Prize.
