Items related to The Altruist: A Novel
Eilis is a feisty young woman, growing up in an Ireland that has changed significantly since the days of her grandmother’s youth. But some things do not change: Eilis, too, flouts conventional mores, especially when she decides to have a baby out of wedlock like her grandmother before her. Family fireworks, courtroom drama, and romance ensue.
Written with Keady’s characteristic charm and graceful humor, The Altruist is a moving and forceful novel of the heart.

About the Author:
Walter Keady grew up on a farm in the west of Ireland. He worked in the Irish Civil Service, served as a Catholic missionary priest in Brazil, and had a career as a software engineer with IBM. He is the author of two previous novels, Celibates and Other Lovers and Mary McGreevy. He lives with his wife, Patricia, in New York’s Hudson Valley.
Review:
"[Keady] clearly knows the territory. Both his plot and his prose are as down-to-earth as the parish he creates."
