Amongst Women
''Amongst Women'' is a novel by the Irish writer John McGahern (1934–2006). McGahern's best known novel, it is also considered his masterpiece.
Published by Faber and Faber, the novel tells the story of Michael Moran, a bitter, ageing Irish Republican Army (IRA) veteran, and his tyranny over his wife and children, who both love and fear him. It was shortlisted for the 1990 Booker Prize and won ''The Irish Times''/Aer Lingus Literary Award in 1991.
==Plot introduction==
The novel is set in rural midlands of Republic of Ireland. The story spans a period of twenty years in the middle of the twentieth century. It centres on Michael Moran, patriarch of the Moran family and a former IRA member who was an officer and guerrilla fighter in the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War in the 1920s. Although Moran is a well-respected member of his community and a devout Catholic, there is a cruel, violent, and controlling side to his character. He dominates the lives of his second wife, Rose, and his five children. His children strive to establish their own lives while remaining loyal to the family. Most of the story is told through the use of flashbacks, as Moran's daughters attempt to recreate "Monaghan Day" for their elderly and depressed father, because it was the day when he always seemed to be at his best.
