The bread we eat in dreams is often a symbol of our deepest longings. It can represent the nourishment we crave, the comfort we seek, or the love we desire. In her new novel, The Bread We Eat In Dreams, acclaimed Irish writer Kathleen MacMahon explores the nature of memory, longing, and the human experience through the lives of three sisters.

Set in a small town in rural Ireland, The Bread We Eat In Dreams follows the three sisters as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and family. The novel opens with the death of their mother, and as the sisters gather to mourn her passing, they begin to confront the secrets and unspoken truths that have shaped their lives.

The eldest sister, Margaret, is a successful doctor who has left her small town behind for the bright lights of Dublin. She is a strong and independent woman, but she is also haunted by the memories of her childhood. The middle sister, Eileen, is a stay-at-home mom who is struggling to find her place in life. She is a kind and loving woman, but she is also filled with a sense of emptiness and longing. The youngest sister, Brigid, is a free-spirited artist who has always felt like an outsider. She is a creative and imaginative woman, but she is also struggling to find her way in the world.

As the sisters come to terms with their mother's death, they begin to explore their own dreams and desires. Margaret dreams of a life beyond her small town, Eileen dreams of a life filled with love and purpose, and Brigid dreams of a life where she can be herself. Through their dreams, the sisters begin to discover who they are and what they want out of life.

The Bread We Eat In Dreams is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that explores the nature of memory, longing, and the human experience. Set in the evocative landscape of rural Ireland, the novel follows the lives of three sisters as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and family. The Bread We Eat In Dreams is a novel that will stay with readers long after they finish it.
