Synopsis
A cast of rampant miscreants, brilliantly witty dialogue and dark imaginings make KILBRACK compulsive comic reading - an unforgettable encounter with Irish rural life and characters. O'Leary Montagu - tall, dark and normal, as Mary once described him - was born at the age of twenty-five, a difficult age, as he himself admits. He woke up in a hospital bed, a scarred amnesiac, and fell immediately in love with a young nurse, fresh from Ireland, Mary. Eleven years later and Mary, an alcoholic now and traumatized herself by O'Leary's neuroses, flees to her parents in Ireland. He finds himself homeless, impecunious and labouring under an ill-starred fate. But at least he has the memoirs of his beloved Nancy Valentine to guide him. He embarks on his life-long ambitition: to visit Kilbrack, her idyllic childhood home, and write her biography. The arrival of this stranger in the dilapidated village proves an unsettling affair, not least for the local pharmacist, J.D.Downey, 'dispenser of drugs and advice', and for Nellie Maguire, erratic spinster of the pub. The frenzied Mrs Cuthbert makes plans for O'Leary to marry her daughter, Livia, and restore the family fortune. But Livia, to spite her mother, vows to become a nun. The parish priest is busy cornering the Irish ham market; while from the big house comes a thin sardonic laughter as Valentine Brack composes his endless histories. What has happened to Kilbrack? As Nancy Valentine says in her memoirs, 'Love that dared to speak her name was forced to quit her home.' O'Leary's coming will change all that, but in a manner no one - in his right mind - could foretell.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
