Andrew
Andrew, an alcoholic, roams the streets, begging and gathering items to sell to support his addiction. By happenstance he runs into Marty, his former brother-in-law, who decides to rehabilitate him, but his endeavor is thwarted by his former mother-in-law, Claire. Claire forbids Marty from coming around her because, while driving under the influence, he caused the death of his wife, Elizabeth, who was Claire's sister. Claire directs a rehabilitation center, so she appoints her adopted brother, Michael, as editor-in-chief of the city newspaper she owns. This turns out to be a mistake. Claire is unaware that Andrew, her former husband, is in the city, not having heard from him since leaving her over thirty years earlier, without him knowing she was pregnant. Claire is perplexed with Marty admitting Andrew into her rehabilitation center for treatment, fearing Andrew will find out that Andrea, who works there as a doctor, is his daughter. Aided by Michael and Lizzy, an employee of the newspaper, a battle ensues to unite Andrew and Andrea. With Claire in the scene and due to the power she commands, the question is, Will Andrew discover he has a daughter and be reunited with her?

Compassionate, witty, and unsettling, Antarctica is the debut collection of one of Ireland's most exciting and versatile new talents. Claire Keegan, winner of several prestigious awards including the William Trevor Prize, writes stories that have a razor-sharp narrative style and unembellished tone, and move from the cruel, hard life of rural Ireland to the hot landscape of the southern United States. From the title story about a married woman who takes a trip to the city with a single purpose in mind—to sleep with another man—Antarctica draws you into a world of obsession, betrayal, and fragile relationships. In "Love in the Tall Grass," Cordelia wakes on the last day of the twentieth century and sets off along the coast road to keep a date, with her lover, that has been nine years in the waiting. In "Passport Soup," Frank Corso mourns the curious disappearance of his nine-year-old daughter and tries desperately to reach out to his shattered wife who has gone mad with grief. Keegan's characters inhabit a world where dreams, memory, and chance can have crippling consequences for those involved. Moving in its quiet intensity, the award-winning Antarctica is a rare and arresting debut.

When Aunt Claire is kidnapped and her animals are stolen, the girls must work together to save her. But doing so could expose her top-secret research to the world and allow the data to fall into very dangerous hands.
