Product Description
The Village of Longing, George O’Brien’s narrative of his childhood in the river-valley settlement of Lismore, Co. Waterford, during the 1950s, has established itself as a contemporary classic since its initial publication in hardback in 1987.
It describes the life and surroundings of an only child raised in an unorthodox household within a close-knit society ruled by the twin empires of Castle and Church haunted by the lure of foreignness and the pain of exile. George O’Brien’s shimmering prose incarnates an Ireland in microcosm – a physical place and a place of the mind.
