An ordinary life—its sharp pains and
unexpected joys, its bursts of clarity and moments of confusion—lived by an
ordinary woman: this is the subject of Someone, Alice McDermott’s
extraordinary novel.Marie’s first heartbreak and her
eventual marriage; her brother’s brief stint as a Catholic priest, subsequent
loss of faith, and eventual breakdown; the Second World War; her parents’
deaths; the births and lives of Marie’s children; the changing world of her
Irish-American enclave in Brooklyn—McDermott sketches all of it with sympathy
and insight.
