- Summary
- "Michael McLaverty, one of Ireland's most distinguished short story writers, painted with acute precision and intensity the northern landscapes of his homeland - lonely hill farms, rough island terrain and the tight backstreets of Belfast. Focusing on moments of passion, wonder or bitter disenchantment in lives that are a continuous struggle towards the light, these stories, in the compassion of the tone and the spare purity of the language, are nothing short of masterly."--BOOK JACKET.
