Stories of modern Irish women. Sensual and stirring poignant and romantic.
Menomadness – Approaching fifty, May Duggan is taken aback by her vigorous sexual response. Prey to fantasy, she roams the woods naked at night and feeds her lust on erotica, until Stan, the washing machine repair man happens by and they romp together in her sagging featherbed.
Top Girl - A competitive pregnant career-minded young woman gives in to pressure at work to embrace motherhood and spends her time knitting small garments and secretly enjoying her pregnancy.
Sisters – When glamorous Felicity visits her stout, overburdened sister with a big brood of young children, she brings with her gifts of perfume and chocolates, all the time keeping up the fiction that she can’t wait to have children of her own. But when her birth control pills are mistaken for ‘sweeties’ by Maura’s toddler, her lies are found out and she rushes away, only remembering the forgotten Pill as she returns home to the arms of her amorous husband.
The Mask – Following her visit to a Harley Street skin specialist, Claire allows her badly scarred face to be made up with an amazing new cosmetic. Confronted by the white face and pouting red lips of the ‘geisha girl’ she feels robbed of her identity but to her shame responds to her louche sexually aroused husband.

Meg's Review of The Mask by Nesta TuomeyNesta Tuomey is one of my favorite authors. She has been the recipient of many awards for her short stories, as well as, a play. The following three examples are just teasers to entice you to read her astonishing stories.
Ms. Tuomey received the John Power Short Story Award at Listowel in 1981 for Ashes, followed by her short story Menomadness which won the Image/Oil of Ulay Short Story Competition in 1994. In 1996, the O.Z. Whitehead Play Competition's prestigious award was bestowed upon Ms. Tuomey for Whose Baby?
Since The Mask is a compilation of eighteen short stories, I must choose my words wisely and try to be concise; for all of the stories take the reader on different journeys. Along the way, one may recognize one's self, family members, or friends in the clever, sardonic, or sensational characters whose actions are not always what one may expect .
Ms. Tuomey holds nothing back in her portrayal of real women with sensual needs. She is a crackerjack allowing the reader to “get inside the heads of the characters,” to pry and probe their innermost thoughts with unforeseen consequences.
While I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories, my favorite is The Mask.
Claire is married to a headstrong controlling man, Michael, who at every turn tries to impose his will on her. He is a business man on the way up the corporate ladder and has strong ideas about how HIS wife should look and act. Michael's nagging has a profound effect on Claire's sense of self. This is an example of how powerful and distressing mean-spirited words can have on a person's psyche. Finally, the last sentence of The Mask may be interpreted in several ways. I would be interested to know what you think Claire will do next.
