Cette tude a t con ue comme un voyage en terre inconnue. Les trois autrices choisies taient d j consid r es en Irlande et dans le monde, comme repr sentatives de la litt rature irlandaise de la fin du XXe si cle et du d but du XXIe. Mais le terrain des r actions de lectrices et lecteurs reste une zone encore peu tudi e. L'enqu te a t men e la recherche d'une parole vive, dans des clubs de lecture, et aussi dans des changes informels sur des forums en ligne. Le travail de Rita Felski, universitaire am ricaine, a permis de formaliser l'analyse de diff rentes sources, orales et crites, provenant d'Irlande, de France, mais aussi des tats-Unis et du Royaume-Uni, en fournissant de nouvelles perspectives sur le la r ception des oeuvres litt raires. La lecture permet une reconnaissance de soi, elle enchante, elle ouvre de nouvelles connaissances, et parfois choque. Les croisements subtils entre l'ind termination qui caract rise plusieurs des romans consid r s, et l'exp rience des r ceptrices et r cepteurs issus des diff rentes zones g ographiques tudi es, offrent une r flexion stimulante sur les traits communs de la r sonance lectorale, ainsi qu'un cho puissant des oeuvres des trois crivaines.

Though mutilated and sick at heart, with the help of a young lad he has begun painstakingly to restore the derelict branch line station. Soon Roger and Helen form a bond which, over gramophone music, dancing and champagne, deepens into love. But Helen, enjoying her first taste of happiness in years, is to learn just how brutally fleeting it can be.What readers enjoyed about THE RAILWAY STATION MAN: 'Quality literary fiction by a master in her craft' ? ? ? ? ?'It rates among my most favourites' ? ? ? ? ?

The Great War is over; but the war in Ireland is only just beginning, as the IRA and the Black and Tans move on to the attack. It all seems very remote to Miranda Martin, during that miraculous Indian summer. Her father, hoping to forget his dead wife, thinks of nothing but his trees; Miranda thinks of the future, a future which must surely include Cathal, who brings news from Dublin. Everything seems calm and serene. But then Andrew, her officer brother, comes home, bringing his eccentric, likeable friend Harry, and as the Indian summer fades, the scene is set for tragedy.

Was the experience in the summerhouse cause rather than effect?With wonderful delicacy and economy, Jennifer Johnston has stripped bare the lives of a family overwhelmed by more than one of the deadly sins.
