What a feel for 1930‘s - 40‘s Ireland. Strict Catholicism and British occupation in a misty land. At first the style was difficult (you, he, she) but it‘s not so bad. I, father, mother. The story settled in and carried me along through this Irish village life, which could be hard for all but especially it‘s women.
