Orphaned as a child, Cahal Kinsella returns from an industrial
school in Letterfrack to the small farming village of Caherlo in
West Galway, to live under the rule of his tyrannical grandfather.
Cahal must learn to assert his individuality if he is to have any
hope of freedom from his misery. With humour and humanity, Walter
Macken paints a haunting, memorable portrait of the hard life of
subsistence farming, of loveless arranged marriages, and rebellion
against suffocating social mores. Written in 1952, this masterpiece
is brought back to life in New Island’s Modern Irish Classics
series.
