Getting Used to Not Being Remarkable

By Michael Foley

Martin is intoxicated by the extremism of decadent French literature. Clare is intoxicated by the demonic lustre of the young man. Over the years, Martin loses his lustre through marriage and child-rearing, while Clare grows in maturity and confidence and eventually takes on a young lover.

Undiscovered gem

I am finding it hard to understand why a book this interesting has not been reviewed after 10 years. Being the first to be so moved to comment I will say that it was sheer enjoyment. The foundation of Mr. Foley's style is the razor sharp Celtic wit that draws his insights into focus. Its a book too readable, too engrossing, and too relevant to be ignored. I have ordered his earlier book, The Road to Notown, which likewise has no reviews. Will likely post the first review of that one soon.
