Product Description
This first novel by the master storyteller has two circular narratives, one set in the Nineteen Fifties, the other in the present day. At once a social document and a meditation on change, it is the enthralling story of the Dowd family who are uprooted from their home in Killeenduff, Co Sligo, to re-settle as economic migrants in the Midlands, where the industrial development of the bogs is providing jobs and opportunities. The tension between the old traditional way of life and the first stirring of industrialization in rural Ireland is captured graphically. The story of the protagonist and his family is told with great warmth, but without sentimentality.
