These Precious Hours Michael Corrigan

"These Precious Hours" is a collection of related and interconnected stories concerning loss and recovery. The structure is not unlike Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio." At the end, many of the characters meet. Declan Mulligan has lost a wife and visits Ireland to connect with a remote past. Dexter Flanagan has lost a beautiful woman to another but writes a great love song. Two women, strangers to each other, make a personal intimate connection visiting Stonehenge. After a personal tragedy, Sean Dineen joins his ailing ex-wife to see the wedding of their son in Paraguay. The main characters eventually meet at the Hemingway memorial in Sun Valley, Idaho to share wine, cheese and music. Experience the adventure.
