Niall Williams's new novel, Time of the Child, is a deeply emotional exploration of moral crises set in 1962 Ireland, blending personal narratives with a sense of inevitable change.
The setting of Faha is beautifully crafted, described as a place where even the weather feels constricting, yet it serves as the backdrop for exploring universal themes of love and loss.
Dr. Jack Troy's reflections on the continuity of human ailments within families serve as a poignant reminder of the never-ending cycle of life, and how some things always go unresolved.
Williams captures the essence of a rural Irish community, where women's roles in knitting the fabric of society and the subtle signs of change hint at a shifting landscape of tradition.
