Svjetlo za duhove

Svjetlo za duhove

Joseph O' Connor

In 1907, two people meet in Dublin's Abbey Theater, whose relationship will shake the city with whispers and rumors.

Molly Allgood is a young, beautiful and rebellious actress of humble origins, but with talent and a dream of fame. She has no shortage of suitors, but behind the curtain of her life she will introduce only one, the poet and tormented genius John Synge. But between the middle-aged writer and the actress is not only the difference in age, class affiliation and religion - their turbulent, sometimes cruel and sometimes tender relationship is opposed by both their families, society and, finally, fate itself.

While, many years later, she wanders through winter London and sifts through her memory album with the hands of an old woman, Molly awakens spirits anew - igniting two exceptional lives and the passion that drove them.

The wonderful play of shadows brought to us by the Irishman Joseph O'Connor, one of the best European writers today, is a love story based on true events, and the light of this novel has saved it from oblivion.
