British Pound
Product Description
Honor Tracy wryly and satirically captures the different cultures of the Irish and English in the same way P G Wodehouse explores the diverse but intertwined perspectives of the British working class and the aristocracy. The foibles of the landed gentry, the legal profession, academia, journalism, the Church, and the townfolk are all skewered and redeemed, in equal measure. Just when it seems one perspective will prevail, Tracy pulls the rug out from underneath. The plot plods a bit, but if you want to spend an afternoon or evening meandering through a small Irish village in a seemingly simpler time, when people were able to appreciate and not demonize others with varying viewpoints and lifestyles, this is the book to do so.
