Blank Pages is a collection of twelve extraordinary new stories that show the emotional range of one of the greatest short-story writers of our time. Steeped in atmosphere, MacLaverty's writing handles subjects such as family love, the making of art, Catholicism, the Troubles and, latterly, ageing, with tenderness and deceptive simplicity.
From a gravely ill Catholic man in the sectarian Northern Ireland of 1942 meeting an unlikely saviour in 'Blackthorns', to the imagined last moments in the life of painter Egon Schiele in 'The End of Days', each achingly human story creates a whole universe.
