En 'At Weddings and Wakes', Alice McDermott nos presenta una conmovedora evocación de las inexplicables calamidades de la vida, así como una celebración mágica de la infancia y los lazos familiares. A través de los ojos de los miembros más jóvenes de una familia irlandesa-americana, la autora nos sumerge en tres generaciones de historias entrelazadas, explorando temas de amor, moralidad y dolor. Con una prosa lírica y observaciones perspicaces, McDermott transforma vidas ordinarias en extraordinarias, dejando imágenes imborrables en el lector.
