Product Description
Father Tom Conroy - a spiky, difficult man - dies at a reunion of his seminary colleagues. At the funeral, several priests remarked how appropriate it was that Father Conroy should have returned on his last day to Rosnagree, the parish in which he was born. As this masterly novel unfolds, we are taken through the years that formed this troublesome priest, who knew his life had been a failure. The Hungry Grass is a sharply witty and moving novel of a world on the cusp of change.
This is a reprint ( third impression, stated) edition 1970, slight spine slant, and very light edgewear to the dustjacket which is a pale yellow colour. Unfaded, unusually, most editions tend to show fade to brown. Cover design by Richard Bewick, published by The Bodley Head, London, 1969 .
