Review: SNOW by Aine GreanyEarly 20th Century North Carolina author Thomas Wolfe informed us, "you can't go home again." Irish expatriate author Aine Greany infers differently. In her newest short story, "SNOW," a poetically lyrical narrative with all the power of the Irish lilt, Dolores leaves behind her New England home and relationship, and her career in which she continually demonstrates strong female empowerment in a man's field, to return to Dublin as part-time carer to her aged, ailing, father-a melancholy, introverted soul-and full-time shopkeeper in the family business. Within days, memories swamp her and any attempt to assert is met with discontent and disdain from the patriarch and former authority figure.I reviewed an ARC provided by the publisher directly to me for the purpose of my fair and honest review. No fees were exchanged.
