In spite of poverty, the family struggled to maintain a solid middle-class façade. The Roman Catholic Church dominated life of Mary Jane Murray, an accomplished pianist and his mother. John Stanislaus Joyce, an impoverished gentleman and father of James Joyce, nine younger surviving siblings, and two other siblings who died of typhoid, failed in a distillery business and tried all kinds of other professions, including politics and tax collecting. Technical innovations of Joyce in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue he used a complex network of symbolic parallels, drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and he created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions. People note this novelist for his experimental use of language in these works. A profound influence of literary innovations of Irish writer James Augustine Aloysius Joyce on modern fiction includes his works, Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).

About the Book Devastated by loss and hampered by war, Fifer struggles to regroup and continue the search for her twin. When the great ice monster melted ten thousand years ago, sea level rose about three hundred feet. It was one dripline coming off the world-topping ice cap of the Ice Age, which was such a monster that the entirety of Long Island is just one of its moraines. People call it a river but it’s more than a river, it’s a fjord or a fyard if you want to be geologically prissy about it. It’s only a mile wide, and yet once through it, hopefully coming in on a rising tide, as it’s much easier that way, like Hudson you will come into a humongous harbor, unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. The Bight of New York forms an almost ninety-degree angle where the north-southish Jersey Shore meets the east-westish Long Island, and right there at the bend there’s a gap.

If you don’t care about such an antiquitarian sailor’s fact, bight me. A bight is an indentation in a coastline too broad and open to be called a bay, such that you could sail out of it on a single tack. Henry Hudson sailed by and saw a break in the coast between two hills, right at the deepest part of the bight they were exploring. New York, New York, it’s a hell of a bay.

The main character does not have a problem with cussing, just uninspired cussing. **Please note, as mentioned in a review, there is flagrantly foul language in these novels. With such loyal characters, friendship, and badassery. I read almost continuously, and for the past year and a half, I haven't read a series (or even one) book that I've loved as much. I thought when I read the first book in this series, that it couldn't get better. Read the series one Amazon Reviewer MistyDawn says: "I'm surprised.
