Reviews
"One of the year's finest novels, a moral story of the most complex sort." -- Peter Prescott, Newsweek "An elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale of morality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh way." -- New York Times Book Review "Jeannette Haien is a writer of vast compassion, and her characters are rich in something all too rare these days: dignity." -- Newsday "A quiet little stunner, written with the sure hand of an artist and the ear of a seasoned storyteller." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A beautiful miniature, written by an author with a love of language and a flair for storytelling." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

Synopsis
JeannetteHaien's award-winning first novel relates theseemingly simple tale of a parishioner confiding in her priest, but the tangledconfession brings secrets to light that provoke a moral quandary for not onlythe clergyman, but the reader as well. Set in a small town in Ireland, Haien's intimate novel of conversations anddilemmas-perfect for readers of Paul Harding's Tinkers, Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, and Flannery O'Connor'sWise Blood-is "an elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale ofmorality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh way" (NewYork Times Book Review).Harper Perennial breathes new life into this 1986 classic in a new edition withan introduction by Ann Patchett., Plot Summary "The All of It is an exquisitely told story of sin and understanding. As a frustrated Father Declan de Loughry fishes for salmon in inclement Irish weather, he mulls over the events of the previous days. Four days ago, while performing the last rites on a dying husband, he learned that the couple was never married and, in fact, are brother and sister. In a breathless retelling, Enda, the sister, recounts their terribly abusive childhood at the hands of their drunken, widowed father. As Enda relates the gripping events surrounding her and her brother's act of incest, Father Declan finds himself mesmerized by both the tale and the teller. While Father Declan struggles with an unyielding river, he must negotiate between his priestly condemnation of incest and his own heart's desires toward Enda. Topics for Discussion 1. Jeannette Haien frames Enda's " confession" with the story of Father Declan's day of fishing at the river. How does this framing device mirror, or contrast with,,Enda's story? Father Declan tells Enda, " you've netted me with your telling." What analogies might be drawn between his struggles with an unruly river and her attempts at making him understand her past choices? 2. Enda goes to great lengths to insist that her retelling of her and her brother's youth does not constitute a confession. Why is she so insistent? Why might she not want to tell Father Declan her history in a confessional? Why does she persist in referring to Father Declan as her friend and not her priest? 3. Haien paints a very vivid picture of the weather. What role does the Irish climate play in both Enda's recounting and Father Declan's fishing trip? 4.Father Declan's opinion of both Enda and her past changes radically through the course of the novel. Did your opinion likewise change? What were some of the factors that contributed to your reassessment? 5. How does Haie, "An elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale of morality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh way." -- New York Times Book Review Jeanette Haien's award-winning novel relates the seemingly simple tale of a parishioner confiding in her priest--revelations that provoke a moral quandary for not only the clergyman, but the reader as well. With a foreword written and narrated by bestselling author Ann Patchett. While fishing in an Irish salmon stream one rainy morning, Father Declan de Loughry ponders the recent deathbed confession of his parishioner Kevin Dennehy. It seems Dennehy and his wife, Enda, had been quietly living a lie for fifty years. Yet the gravity of their deception doesn't become clear to the good father until Enda shares the full tale of her suffering, finally confiding "the all of it." Haien's intimate novel of conversations and dilemmas is perfect for readers of Paul Harding's Tinkers , Marilynne Robinson's Gilead , Flannery O'Connor's Wise Blood and Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These., "An elegantly written, compact and often subtle tale of morality and passion that gives voice to an age-old concern in a fresh way." -- New York Times Book Review Jeanette Haien's award-winning novel relates the seemingly simple tale of a parishioner confiding in her priest--revelations that provoke a moral quandary for not only the clergyman, but the reader as well.
