A Parochial Orbit

This article focuses on the book "Now That April's Here, and Other Stories," by Morley Callaghan. This is a book filled with domestic situations, a book about mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, young husbands and wives, young lovers, brothers, friends, priests, old women. Almost all these people are destined for the same soft of existence, with the same problems, misunderstandings, difficulties, rewards, they live, almost all of them, inside a purely parochial orbit. Mr. Callaghan handles his people honestly enough, his treatment has nothing in common with the homely pathos contrived by writers for women's magazines.
