Won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (1943).

Tales from Bective Bridge won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. First published in 1943, Tales from Bective Bridge is a collection of ten stories that memorably depict the rural mid-lands of Ireland and their people. Mary Lavin, though American-born, grew up in Athenry; and though the Irish short story was a dauntingly well-established form she succeeded in reinventing it with this, her debut collection, which exhibits a Chekhovian gift for the meaning of small things, contrary behaviours and emotions.
