![]() No one will ever die of loneliness in this little town, the way people might in a big city like London, or even Dublin, but intolerance and ignorance are the watchwords, and although no one in Castlebay is terribly rich, many are terribly, irredeemably poor.Īll of the sociological details of the town of Castlebay are right on the money. ![]() “Echoes” is in Ireland, in a skimpy little seaside resort that must make enough money to exist economically for the rest of the year from a slim 11-week summer season. That is, “Echoes,” if I read correctly, is food for the minds and hearts of women who are staying home with their children but women who know how to read, who yearn for the larger world outside their dooryards, and who remember, however dimly, that there’s something else to life. This is the kind of long, female-oriented, romance-family that is meant to be read by literate women with lots of time on their hands. ![]()
