All Gods Dead

Ranked #99 in Dublin

Brigit Egan lies dying in a Dublin nursing home. 90 years of age and wracked by pain, baffled by morphine, she begins to recall her life. It is a life that her daughters, convinced that she has slipped into senility, do not recognize. It is a stunning exploration of life, of guilt, of hope and motivation against the backdrop of London, Paris, and Berlin in the swinging 1920s and the dark 1930s. A Europe of artists, writers, and the bohemian lifestyle that scandalized and intrigued alike. less
