کتاب The Visitor اثر Maeve Brennan زبان اصلی

Anastasia King returns to her grandmother’s house in Dublin–the very house where she grew up–after six long years away. She has been in Paris, comforting her disgraced and dying mother, the runaway from a disastrous marriage to Anastasia’s late father, her grandmother’s only son.

“It’s a pity she sent for you,” the grandmother says, smiling with anger. “And a pity you went after her. It broke your father’s heart.” Anastasia pays dearly for the choice she made, a choice that now costs her her own strong sense of family and makes her an exile–a visitor–in the place she once called home.

Found unexpectedly in a university archive, this previously unpublished novella from the 1940s is a story of Dublin and of the unkind, ungenerous, emotionally unreachable side of the Irish temper. With its sharp exploration of emotional exile and familial resentment, The Visitor deepens Brennan’s legacy as a master of psychological tension and quiet, devastating drama.
