Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Irish Neighbours
Now as he stood at the little green wooden gate, he looked about him with small curiosity, so firmly was he convinced that in his lost Barnadrum alone could life be worth living. The fact that he had known no other place in his five-and-twenty years did but strengthen this conviction. He could not be said to have chosen a propitious moment for his first survey of pre judged Portcormac. It was that trying hour before sunrise when in the lack-lustre twilight everything wears a drearily unreal aspect, mean ingless somehow, and yet menacing. Murtagh saw a ?at stretch of tilled land, with a sprinkling of cottages and trees. Close at hand the fields were large and square, divided by low, straight hedges, and mostly filled with cabbages and turnips.
