The hats are not a range of colors--they are not blue, cream, maroon, brown, orange, violet, or green. The hats did not begin as buds, as specks of folded felt that uncurled as the tree developed from a sapling, and matured.\" So begins the opening story of Electrodom駸ticos, the debut collection from Moira McCavana. In these stories, characters struggle with allegiances both political and personal, their attempts at independence coinciding with the region's growing nationalist fervor. Exquisitely attuned to the nuances of familial and cultural history, and beautifully blending pastoral and historical sensibilities, Electrodom駸ticos is a stunning debut about place, language, and identity, from a promising new voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Massachusetts, \u003cb\u003eMoira McCavana\u003c\/b\u003e has spent much of her writing life responding to inherited family histories from Northern Ireland and Northern Spain.
