Our Fathers

"[A]n interesting failure of a book that follows four generations of Bawns as they frantically build a legacy and then furiously tear it down. O'Hagan writes spare, lyrical prose that can be solemn and impressive as a hymn. And he attempts something grand in these pages: a novel that's both a public history and a private one....Still, for all its ambition, OUR FATHERS never gels, never rivets, never rises above its morose and mundane plot."O'Hagan, Andrew is the author of 'Our Fathers', published 1999 under ISBN 9780151004942 and ISBN 0151004943.
