That They May Face the Rising Sun is a novel by Irish author John McGahern, published in 2002. Set in a rural Irish community, the novel captures the rhythms of daily life through the lens of Joe and Kate Ruttledge, a couple who have returned from London to live in the Irish countryside. The narrative explores themes of belonging, memory, and the passage of time, with a focus on the quiet, often unnoticed, moments that shape human experience. McGahern’s writing is deeply evocative, reflecting the timelessness and slow pace of rural life.
