WHEN ALL IS SAID
"Anne Griffin could be the next big name to emerge from the Irish writing scene." (John Boyne)
Maurice Hannigan, a successful eighty-four-year-old Irish farmer, sits alone at a bar one evening, talking in his head to his son, who lives in New Jersey. Over the course of the evening he has five drinks and five toasts, one for each of the key people who have meant the most to him over the course of his lifetime.
Soon it becomes clear that this is no ordinary night.
This book taps in to what it is to be old in rural Ireland today. The themes are delivered in a way that is touching, giving a glimpse into the life of a flawed man who has trusted few and deeply loved one woman he cannot live without. Set over seven chapters, All That I Have Been is, at its core, a simple love story. There is also a mystery running through it, if you want another angle to think about.
Anne Griffin is a recent graduate of the M.A. course in creative writing in University College Dublin where she studied under Anne Enright, Éilish Ní Dhuibhne, Lia Mills, James Ryan and Frank McGuinness. Her short stories have been short-listed for the Hennessy New Irish Writing Award and the Sunday Business Post Short Story Competition, amongst others. She has been long listed for the Seán Ó Faoláin and Fish Publishing Short Story Competitions. Her work has been published in The Stinging Fly, The Irish Times, The Lonely Crowd, For Books' Sake, The Ogham Stone, The Incubator and Bunker (Cork County Libraries Short Story Collection). She currently works in the NGO sector in a career that has included eight years with Waterstone's Booksellers, where she worked in both Dublin and London.
