Abstract

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1921, Brian Moore spent the majority of his life in Canada and the US. The author of some 20 novels, he is characterized as a talented storyteller as well as someone with a keen understanding of the female psyche (O'Donoghue, 1991). By the time of his death in January 1999, Moore's standing was extremely high: a lucrative book contract signed with Bloomsbury in 1988 made him financially secure and many of his novels were successfully adapted for the screen (most notably Catholics, Black Robe, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, and Lies of Silence). While many of the earlier novels have a distinctively Irish flavor, others are situated in France, the US, Canada, and South America.
