About this ebook:
"Mary Gordon is a humane masterly writer whose great gift is making us care about her people," said Walter Clemens in Newsweek. Never before The Other Side has she invented characters about one cares so deeply.The other side is the America imagined from Ireland, the side to which Vincent and Ellen McNamara traveled in the early part of the century – one bitterly escaping humiliation and fear; the other filled with hope for the promise and future of a new land. The Other Side is a story of passage and change, of immigration and displacement, and of the struggle of families to find a common ground between generations.At the center of Mary Gordon's extraordinary fourth novel is Vincent McNamara's sixty-year-old promise to his new bride, Ellen, made in the midst of a tragedy neither could forget: that she would die next to him, in her own bed. Now Ellen is over ninety; she is dying a bitter, angry death; and Vincent is coming back from a nursing home to keep his promise, back to the house in which he and Ellen lived most of their lives.Assembled to greet Vincent are children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, each with a story to tell, an alliance or conflict to reenact, each carrying as a legacy of the past the longing for a true place in the family and the world. In the course of a single day, Mary Gordon unfolds the drama of Ireland at the turn of the century, of America in the 1930s and '40s, and of a love affair and marriage fraught with defiance, driven by dreams. Through Vincent and Ellen, Cam, Dan, Theresa, and Magdalene, their spouses, lovers, and children, the siblings or partners they have lost, Mary Gordon reveals the dramas wrought by social and cultural circumstances, and their resolution in the realm of the heart.This profoundly moving novel, by the writer celebrated for her "fears and shining prose" (The New York Times), is a paean to a lifelong love – compelling, tumultuous, triumphant.
