(Irish tale of brother and sister sleeping together through childhood and into adulthood, then Maureen thought she was pregnant - which was indeed a complication. It was evident, Kevin realized, that there would be no gentleman calling on Maureen, and he'd have to find one quickly - someone both appropriate and willing. Patrick McGinley, who understands and writes about the Irish countryside as well as anyone, has in this strong, compassionate novel written his most powerful book)
Patrick McGinley was born in County Donegal in 1937, and was educated from 1941 to 1950 at Cashel National School in Glencolmcille

Review:
'An imaginative, expertly turned dark comedy, informed by some splendid dialogue and a sensual feel for the claims of the soil ... Patrick McGinley is a very gifted man. He knows his Irish bog as well as Isaac Bashevis Singer does the shtetl, and he can sing about it with something like the same magic.' --New York Times
'Patrick McGinley's gifts for resonant dialogue, sexual frictions, graphic violence, and peripeteia have been well noted for over three decades by readers and critics who relish the extravagances of getting lost beyond the Pale. --Times Literary Supplement
If ever proof was needed that art is not a meritocracy, and success relies more on luck than talent, you ll find it in Patrick McGinley's Bogmail. First published in 1978, reissued by New Island, this is not just a great crime novel but a great work of literature. --Irish Independent
