WAKE
by Irene Kelleher
“I try to escape the sea of parishioners spitting sympathy and sandwiches at me with trail of egg salad dripping down. The house is like a scene from the Great Gatsby. Only this is West Cork so minus the glamour and good-looking people.”
At her mother’s wake Lily suffers her way through the sea of Auntie Rachel’s sandwiches, cousin Aileen’s juicing recipes and Aoibheann’s woodland theme wedding plans, until an old face from her past arrives. Rapidly changing into her x-rated top and revelling in the disapproving whispers from the neighbours, Lily is not your typical mourner. She will not let the night that’s in it thwart her plans.
