- Audrey Magee worked for twelve years as a journalist and has written for, among others, The Times, The Irish Times, the Observer and Guardian. She studied German and French at University College Dublin and journalism at Dublin City University. She lives in Wicklow with her husband and three daughters. The Undertaking is her first novel.
In her 20s and 30s, she travelled extensively, first as a student, living in Germany and Australia, where she taught English; later as a journalist, covering, among many other issues, the war in Bosnia, child labour in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the impact of Perestroika on Central Asia. She was Ireland Correspondent of The Times for six years, and wrote extensively about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the subsequent peace process and the chaos caused by the Omagh bomb

I'm in a class studying color use in writing so I am ecstatically expanding my lexicon.
The shocking pieces between chapters registering the obituaries of casualties of the Northern Ireland Troubles raise the tension and gradually become pertinent to the story and the conflicts between the colonists and the summer interlopers, the artist and a linguist studying their original Irish language. The book ends more sadly for the colonists than for the intruders underlining the rift of imperialistic forages of any kind. Highly recommended.
