Publisher's Synopsis
Old John is a novel written by Mairin Cregan that tells the story of John, a man in his 80s who has lived a long and eventful life. As John looks back on his life, he reflects on his experiences as a farmer, a husband, a father, and a member of his community. The novel explores themes of aging, memory, and the passing of time, as well as the importance of family and community in shaping a person's life. Through John's reflections, the reader gains insight into the challenges and joys of growing old, and the ways in which our past experiences shape who we are in the present. With its vivid descriptions of rural life in Ireland, Old John offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
