Snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves.`From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest, to a young woman`s dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover, to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife, these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce`s native Dublin to life.

Emma Woodhouse is introduced to us as `handsome, clever and rich` and, according to Jane Austen, a heroine `which no one but myself would like`. Yet such is Emma`s spirited wit that, despite her superior airs and egotism, few readers have failed to succumb to her charm.
The comedy turns on Emma`s self-appointed role as energetic match-maker for her sweet, silly friend Harriet. Emma herself, meanwhile, is confidently immune to the charms of the male sex. Her emotional coming of age is woven into what Ronald Blythe has called `the happiest of love stories, the most fiendishly difficult of detective stories and a matchless repository of English wit`.
