About the Book

Both a meditation on time and memory and a poignant depiction of family life in Ireland, Time Present and Time Past was a finalist for the Orange Prize and was described as "outstanding" by the Irish Independent.


Ireland, 2006. The economic miracle known as the Celtic Tiger has swept the country into a euphoria of wealth and transformation. But for forty-seven-year-old Dubliner Fintan Buckley, the race toward progress is also a troubling purge of the past. Fintan feels the rush of time "like a kind of unholy wind," and he begins to experience strange, dreamlike visions. A resonant portrait of a middle-class family in pre-crash Ireland, Deirdre Madden's latest novel "is a reminder that we'd do best...to savor what we can of those passing moments Eliot called the 'still point of the turning world'" (New York Times Book Review).


"Beautifully written, Time Present and Time Past gently invites us to consider the shifting patterns of time."-The Scotsman
