An entertaining tale set in Donegal Ireland. ( )

Was brought here by the Donegal Democrats endorsement;

"a horrific concoction of filth ... a picture of life in Donegal that is revolting in the extreme ... virtually pornography veneered with an assumption of literary value ... a shocking libel on the people of Donegal."

Very witty writing throughout but the plot loses all steam two thirds of the way through. ( )

Patrick McGinley has written a story set in Donegal that tugs at the heart. It is the characters and the dialogue that do the tugging. There is a soaring sense of location. It's a beautiful, peculiar piece of Ireland. The plot, however, is difficult as it bumps down a Dostoyevsky-like road. I read it to page 79 and had to set it aside. I tried again and made it to page 115. I peeked at the ending and was surprised so perhaps the plot deserves more praise than I can give. ( )
