About This Item
London: Virago Press, 2000. Book. Very Good. Stiff Card Wraps. Signed by Author(s). 1st paperback edition.. Small octavo. Set in a mid-Ulster rural community, against the backdrop of World War I, a confirmed bachelor who is Protestant becomes involved with a Catholic woman who is "a big bawdy widow with 14 children," and who doesn't give a rat's ass about local morals (always a wise position to take). Winner of the 2001 Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award for the best Irish fiction. 276 pages. Slightly cocked, reading creases to spine, light general wear. Internally still fairly tight and clean..
