Product Description
Product Description
A powerful novel of life in a small island community in Donegal, written by one of Irelands greatest historical and literary figures: socialist, republican,and novelist, Peadar ODonnellPeadar ODonnell, to my mind, has brought a family to life in Islanders. He has observed men and women, and observed them imaginatively. He knows their phrases, the details of their daily existence, their exhilarations, their sorrows; and out of his knowledge he has built up a home on a Donegal island so real to us that a woman cannot feed the hens or cut a soda cake for the children without making us wish that wewere there to see her. from the introduction by Robert Lynd
