We tell them to stay alive or keep alive those  who only live now in the telling. In Faha, County Clare, everyone is a  long story...\r\n\r\n    Bedbound in her attic room beneath the  falling rain, in the margin between this world and the next, Plain Ruth  Swain is in search of her father. To find him, enfolded in the mystery  of ancestors, Ruthie must first trace the jutting jaw lines, narrow  faces and gleamy skin of the Swains from the restless Reverend Swain,  her great-grandfather, to grandfather Abraham, to her father, Virgil -  via pole-vaulting, leaping salmon, poetry and the three thousand, nine  hundred and fifty eight books piled high beneath the two skylights in  her room, beneath the rain.    The stories - of her golden twin  brother Aeney, their closeness even as he slips away  of their dogged  pursuit of the Swains' Impossible Standard and forever falling just  short  of the wild, rain-sodden history of fourteen acres of the worst  farming land in Ireland - pour forth in Ruthie's still, small, strong,  hopeful voice.\r\n\r\n A celebration of books, love and the healing power of the  imagination, this is an exquisite, funny, moving novel in which every  sentence sings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
