Green Apple Books's "Apple a Month" Selection
"McCavana reminds us that small gestures bear great weight. . . . Quiet but impeccable."
—Kirkus Reviews
“In Moira McCavana’s evocative stories, the Basque country situates itself within two regions of a capacious literary imagination: one is gritty, authentic and profoundly human; the other lies in the realm of memory, hope and Calvino-esque invention. McCavana roams these rough-hewn, contested territories with daring and compassion.”
—Ken Kalfus, National Book Award finalist for A Disorder Peculiar to the Country
“In her stunning debut collection, Moira McCavana invites readers into the soul of Basque country. Electrodomésticos explores those regions—geographic, cultural, emotional—that shape the diverse lives of characters. McCavana writes with extraordinary insight, poignant humanity, and the quiet, lyric beauty of timeless poetry.”
—Bret Anthony Johnston, author of Remember Me Like This
"Electrodomésticos is rigorously interested in our love for places which never quite yield their secrets to us. McCavana makes language uncanny and intimate, a system of symbols which bears the keys to both estrangement and belonging."
—Lillian Fishman, author of Acts of Service
