Jeanie Masterson has a gift: she can hear the recently dead and give voice to their final wishes and revelations. Inherited from her father, this gift has enabled the family undertakers to flourish in their small Irish town. Yet she has always been uneasy about censoring some of the dead's last messages to the living. Unsure, too, about the choice she made when she left school seventeen years ago: to stay or leave for a new life in London with her charismati

В баре провинциального отеля теплым летним вечером сидит старый фермер Морис Хэнниган. Пять раз он заказывает выпивку — и каждый раз поднимает тост за человека, сыгравшего важную роль в его долгой, трудной жизни. За любимого старшего брата, которого еще подростком унесла болезнь. За душевнобольную невестку, с первого взгляда к нему привязавшуюся. За дочку, рожденную мертвой. За талантливого сына-журналиста — каково ему там, в далекой Америке? И — за нее. Любимую жену и верную подругу. За лучшую из женщин, после смерти которой из жизни его ушли и свет, и смысл. Пять тостов. Пять историй. А в них — целая жизнь, с любовью и ненавистью,…

Мене звати Моріс Ганніґан. Мені 84 роки. Я прожив довге життя. Чимало трапилося хорошого, поганого й такого, що я хотів би стерти з пам’яті. Цю ніч я проведу в барі готелю «Рейнсфорд Хауз». Випиваючи за тих, кого любив та ненавидів. За свого брата, заради якого ладен був на все; за дивакувату своякиню; за доньку та сина, якого не бачив роками; за покійну, та все ще кохану дружину, якій я обіцяв «довго та щасливо». П’ять чарок, щ

'I'm here to remember - all that I have been and all that I will never be again.' At the bar of a grand hotel in a small Irish town sits 84-year-old Maurice Hannigan. He's alone, as usual - though tonight is anything but. Pull up a stool and charge your glass, because Maurice is finally ready to tell his story. Over the course of this evening, he will raise five toasts to the five people who have meant the most to him. Through these stories - of unspoken joy and regret, a secret tragedy kept hidden, a fierce love that never found its voice - the life of one man will be powerfully and poignantly laid bare. Heart-breaking and heart-warming all at once, the voice of Maurice Hannigan will stay with you long after all is said.

A tale of a single night. The story of a lifetime. If you had to pick five people to sum up your life, who would they be? If you were to raise a glass to each of them, what would you say? And what would you learn about yourself, when all is said and done? This is the story of Maurice Hannigan, who, over the course of a Saturday night in June, orders five different drinks at the Rainford House Hotel. With each he toasts a person vital to him: his doomed older brother, his troubled sister-in-law, his daughter of fifteen minutes, his son far off in America, and his late, lamented wife. And through these people, the ones who left him…

Kui peaksite oma elu kokkuv?tmiseks valima viis inimest, kes nad oleksid? Mida ?tleksite toostiks, kui t?staksite neist iga?he auks klaasi? Ja mida saaksite l?puks teada enda kohta, kui k?ik on ?eldud?
&t;br/&t;
?hel juunikuu laup?eva?htul tellib Maurice Hannigan Rainford House’i hotelli baaris viis erinevat jooki. Iga toostiga tervitab ta enda jaoks olulist inimest, jutustades nende kaudu loo oma elust, kahetsusest ja vaenust, armastusest ja ?nnestumistest.
S?? ja kadeduse, v??ritim?istmiste ja valede v?rku p?imitud naabrite ja perekonna lugu on huvitavalt ajatu, justkui tahaks autor ?elda, et elul?ksud ei muuda tegelikult v?ga palju selles, mis on inimloomusele omane. Liigsesse nostalgiasse ja kurvameelsusse kaldumata ohjab Griffin meisterlikult ?sna keerulist s?žeed, luues luust ja lihast tegelaskujud, kes ei j?ta lugejat ?ksk?ikseks. Ta oskab hoida parajalt pinget vaheldumisi mitmel ajareal kulgevas narratiivis.
