The story, set in a town on the east coast of Ireland in the late 1950s, swirls around the Donnelly sisters: the responsible, devoted Eveline and her younger, more glamorous and more selfish 18-year-old sister, Kathleen. The two are mourning the death of their mother after a long illness. In their very different ways, they are trying to break free of their depressed father, Peter. "Wings" is a fiercely lovely meditation on the high price paid in the quest for personal freedom and the equally high price exacted for remaining true to others. It is as soaring, and as rueful, as its richly poetic title.
