Through her first heartbreak and eventual marriage; her delicate brothers brief stint as a Catholic priest and his emotional breakdown; her career as a funeral directors consoling angel; the deaths of her parents and the births of her childrenwe follow Marie through the changing world of the twentieth century and her Irish-American enclave. Rendered with remarkable empathy and insight, Someone is a novel that speaks of life as it is daily lived, with passion and heartbreak, a crowning achievement of one of the finest American writers at work today.
