Pádraic Ó Conaire’s celebrated novel, first published by Clódhanna Teoranta in 1920 and now available once more as published by Coiscéim. Editor: Aindrias Ó Cathasaigh. The characters are depicted very forcefully and the standard of storytelling is superb.
This was the first major novel in the Irish language and it became the benchmark for all Irish novelists for the rest of the 20th Century.
