December Chronicle
About This Novel
This is what happened in December: it happened in a flash. If you close your eyes, it's over. It's like you never existed. Under the "falling sky" of Ireland's financial crisis, greed has become the norm in the world, and John Cunliffe can only desperately hold on to familiar things. Even if he loses them: the people who have spent his life protecting him from the cruel world... After the death of his parents, Johns inherits the family farm, but he is unable to run it on his own. Village bullies and scheming land grabbers stand in his path... After a brutal beating, a female patient who was hospitalized with him enters his life, but Johns remains alone, trying to keep up with a world that moves faster than he does... In a year of Johns' life, his confusion, humor and bitter self-doubt make for an extremely fulfilling twelve months. The bittersweet story is a reminder that our souls are more insightful and wiser than we realize or even imagine.
