A rediscovered classic of Irish literature, this darkly comic tale tells of murder and its consequences.

When Roarty begins to receive blackmail letters, matters quickly spiral out of his control. Alive with the loquacious brio of his pub's eccentric regulars, and full of the bleak beauty of the Donegal landscape, Patrick McGinley's rural gothic novel is a modern masterpiece. Read More

Seller's Description:
Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
This is a piece of Irish life with a few twists, murder and blackmail. Although a little racy in places it is an enjoyable look at another time and place. The descriptions of the countryside are excellent and do paint a good picture in the mind.
