Both a meditation on time and memory and a poignant depiction of family life in Ireland, Time Present and Time Past was a finalist for the Orange Prize and was described as outstanding by the Irish Independent.


Ireland, 2006. The economic miracle known as the Celtic Tiger has swept the country into a euphoria of wealth and transformation. But for forty-seven-year-old Dubliner Fintan Buckley, the race toward progress is also a troubling purge of the past. Fintan feels the rush of time like a kind of unholy wind, and he begins to experience strange, dreamlike visions. A resonant portrait of a middle-class family in pre-crash Ireland, Deirdre Madden's latest novel is a reminder that we'd do best...to savor what we can of those passing moments Eliot called the 'still point of the turning world' (New York Times Book Review).
