  A stunning collection of short stories from a new talent to rival that of Colum McCann. One of the most striking writers to emerge from this year's PHOENIX IRISH SHORT STORIES is a young Irish-American, Molly McCloskey. Writing with the lyricism of William Trevor and the narrative power of John McGahern, she charts the territory of human relationships, deftly unpeeling the layers of social mores in human behaviour to reveal the dark soul underneath. In this superb collection Molly McCloskey combines the very best of both literary traditions - Irish romanticism and American candour - to prove herself a refreshing new voice of striking maturity and enormous potential. 'SOLOMON'S SEAL' is a deft and thoughtful first collection' Louise East, IRISH TIMES.
