4.0 out of 5 stars Not your average load of Blarney, 28 Oct 2002
By A Customer
MacGill's novel veers from the fantasy genre to providing some potent social commentary on the Ireland of the early 20th century. I urge you to read this novel and be amazed by MacGill's subtlety and his masterful grasp of narrative.
