Captains and the Kings - Softcover
Living alone in an old house, surrounded only by the ghosts of his past, Mr Prendergast seemed to be a relic of another age, but the growing friendship between the old man and a boy is viewed with more than suspicion by both the boy's parents and by the old man's righteous neighbours.

Review:
Jennifer Johnston has written a beauty...full of sharp truth (Daily Telegraph)
Elegantly written... it is a tragic story with a merciful ending... Jennifer Johnston knows her Ireland as well as she knows human nature (Irish Times)
I greatly enjoyed and admired The Captains and the Kings (Kingsley Amis Observer)
Assured and skillful (The Sunday Times)
Formidably well done (Guardian)
