The Fish in the Stone
註釋In a country town in Ireland young Mary Ennis is growing up in the shadow of her parents' loveless marriage. Her pious mother is a pillar of the local community; her father is a prosperous shopkeeper. But behind this image of respectability there lies a dark, dangerous secret. A powerful, harrowing story of sexual abuse, The Fish in the Stone challenges the taboos of silence and ignorance surrounding incest. Through its intense exploration of the complex relationship between Mary and her father, it shatters the abuser's defences of self-deceit and emotional blackmail, moving relentlessly to a terrible, haunting climax.
