Tom Manus brings his new wife, Brigid, from her island home to his small farm on the mainland. The novel describes his community's struggle, when its age-old customs are shattered, to find its way back to peace. ***'This is a social document. Peader O'Donnell has managed to preserve brilliantly a picture of a world which, with historical inevitability, has all but passed away.' (Quote from inside front of jacket blurb). ***'Peader O'Donnell was born near Dungloe in Co. Donegal in 1893. He has divided his life between literature and social agitation and reform. In 1918 he became a full-time organiser for the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union from which he resigned to serve in the Irish Republican Army. In July 1922 he was capture by Free State forces on the fall of The Four Courts in Dublin, and was imprisoned for 21 months in various Irish jails. In the course of this imprisonment he began his first published novel, Storm: a story of the Irish War. He followed it with six others.'
