IRISH LINEN—Andrew M. Greeley—Nuala Anne McGrail and her husband and 'spear-carrier' husband are approached by his hyper-protective parents to find a young man, Desmond Doolin, who has, perhaps, gone to Iraq; and in the sequence, 'happen upon' the recollections of Timothy Patrick Clarke, the Irish Ambassador to Nazi Germany, which provides a parallel story. Greeley is free with his views of the war in Iraq, Homeland Security, the Bush administration in this tale of multiple loves.
