. 'Enthralling, chilling and memorable' - Sunday Telegraph 'So original that the text is illuminating' - The Times 'This priestly deposition develops into a grand examination of blind faith. The shiver at the end chills right down to the soul' - TLS 'Magical to the core. Read it and be smitten by this masterpiece as I was' - Walter Abish
In a London pub in the 1950s, editor William Maginn is intrigued by a mention of the strange – and reputedly shameful – demise of a remote mountain village in County Kerry, where he was born. Returning to Kerry, Maginn uncovers an astonishing tale about the tragedy of an increasingly isolated village where all the women mysteriously die. The priest, Father McGreevy, struggles to cope with insoluble problems, whilst battling against the rough mountain elements, the grief and superstitions of his people, and the growing distrust of the town below.
