The Quick and the Dead

Set among the close-knit communities of western Ireland, these 16 short stories evoke the traditional way of life followed by many in the region in the mid 20th century, even as modernity approached. Rich with psychological realism, the tales range from those that reflect the struggles and strengths of the women of Gaeltacht’s rural communities to the suffocating nature of bureaucracy.
