A short novel about an ageing Irish republican, father to four and newly remarried, who has lost touch with his past. As he slopes towards his end, the landscape, villages and communities which once empowered him now threaten to outwit him. Like Claire Keegan’s, McGahern’s even prose is tempered with a chill, and not a word is out of place.
