description: Sipping  effortlessly between past and present, between  memory and observation, At Weddings And  Wakes tells the story of three generations  of an Irish-Catholic family through the eyes of its  younger members. At once a haunting  evocation of life's inexplicable calamities and a  magical celebration of childhood and familial  love, At Weddings And Wakes   transforms every experience into the heroic and the  universal. It is a testament to the remarkable gift of  a literary master writing at the peak of her story  telling powers.
