Publisher's Synopsis
This latest collection from John Montague reprises the great themes of his work ù his own, his familyÆs and his provinceÆs histories. From signs of silent affection on that Ulster farm, the stations of a journey towards a fluent voice, re-imaginings of a bicycle trip along the Marne in the late 1940s and reflections on a PresidentÆs resignation, he continues his acts of excavation and recreation. æIn My GrandfatherÆs MansionÆ, a compendium of memories and another of the authorÆs extended works with a hint of the epic note, is the hub of an uncommonly enterprising and exuberant book.
