The final book in James T. Farrell's five-volume series on the
O'Neill-O'Flaherty families, The Face of Time chronicles the slow and
painful decline of Danny O'Neill's grandfather Tom and aunt
Louise--whose deaths haunt A World I Never Made. Featuring the
family's experience with emigration from Ireland, The Face of Time
brings the series full circle by evoking feelings of bewilderment,
shame, and fear as the O'Neills embark on a new life in Chicago in the
late nineteenth century.
