THE LAND OF WOMEN
McBride, Regina
2003 7838 In The Land of Women we are swept into Fiona O'Faolain's last summer in Ireland, the season of her burgeoning sexuality. It is a time, too, when mother and daughter step toward friendship among the voluminous gowns they make for local brides. Yet that giddy summer also delivers betrayal. Fiona's journey from the shame that ended her girlhood takes her to Santa Fe and to Carlos Aragon, a restorer of antiquities, whose ancestry is mysteriously linked to hers. As he explores their pasts with the precision of an artisan, Fiona must face her excruciating memory. FROM THE CRITICS The Washington Post The Land of Women narrowly avoids the woman-as-victim story by granting Fiona a string of believable epiphanies resulting in self-knowledge that is neither hollow nor transitory. — Carol S. Briggs Library Journal McBride is now working on the screenplay of her first novel, The Nature of Water and Air, with actor Gabriel Byrne, who will direct and star in the film. Lucky for us she had time to write her second novel, a story of love and betrayal set on the coast of Ireland with a little bit of New Mexico thrown into the mix. Fiona O'Faolain tells the story of her strange and magical relationship with her mother, Jane, an orphan raised by nuns. After Jane betrays her trust and affection, Fiona flees to New Mexico to live with her father, a rogue who never married Jane and became a famous photographer. In Santa Fe, Fiona meets an antiques restorer named Carlos, whose passion is tracing the historical connection between Ireland and Spain in the objects that he restores. The ever-changing history and geography behind this link is fascinating, and the resulting story helps Fiona come to terms with her past. As in her previous novel, McBride weaves in a bit of Irish folklore, adding more enchantment to an already intriguing tale. For all literary fiction collections.-Beth Gibbs, Davidson, NC Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. Kirkus Reviews A somewhat heavy-handed second from Irish-American McBride (The Nature of Water and Air, 2001). When Fiona O'Faolain moved from rural Ireland to Santa Fe, New Mexico, it wasn't so much to get ahead in the world as to find out who she was. An illegitimate child, Fiona was fathered by a well-known photographer who had come to the American Southwest years before and made his reputation there. Although he helped support Fiona and her mother, Jane, while Fiona was a girl, he never married Jane-thus condemning her to the status of eccentric outsider in the rural village where she and Fiona lived. A gifted seamstress and lacemaker, Jane made a living by creating wedding dresses, and each masterwork only reinforced her disappointment at never becoming Ronan's bride-to such an extent that she eventually married the dull Ned McGinty, who had been deeply in love with Jane for years. When Ronan dies and leaves part of his estate to Fiona, she moves to Santa Fe to open a dress shop of her own. There, she meets Carlos Aragon, a Spanish antiquities dealer who is restoring a 15th-century statue that had been carved to commemorate a ship that sank off the coast of Ireland with one of his ancestors aboard. According to family legend, Carlos's ancestor had been rescued by a trio of women and literally nursed back to health on a remote island known as the Land of Women. As Carlos delves deeper into the mysteries of the statue and the doomed ship, Fiona's thoughts turn back to her native land-and to Michael, her first love. Moving along the romancer's boundary between anger and nostalgia, Fiona's story is, overall, well crafted and elegant, though it becomes a bit overdone and precious in the end.
