This collection of nineteen short stories deals with murder, the
supernatural, immigration, separation, relationships, love and
life. While the stories are set mainly in rural Ireland some
inevitably cross the Irish Sea. They provide a glimpse of Irish
life fast disappearing and range from dark comedy to poignancy.
In Lady of the Lake the peace and tranquillity of a lakeside
village is broken by the murder of a quiet if somewhat inquisitive
stranger. The ticking of an old clock brings back childhood
memories of a formidable old woman in Kate the Bush. The short
story The Homecoming explores the relationship between a father and
son against the background of immigration and advancing years. In A
Grave Matter Flaherty's Pub is frequented by local drunkards,
headers, wasters and anybody else who happens to be passing by and
has the misfortune to call in.
