A book about Irish politics, religion, and memory. Powerful prose that I found myself rereading often, just to enjoy a passage.

To the finder of this book:

Hello! You have not only found yourself a good book, but a whole community of booklovers dedicated to sharing books with each other and the world at large. I hope you'll stick around a bit and get to know bookcrossing--maybe even make a journal entry on this book. You may choose to remain anonymous or to join (its free!). Feel free to read and keep this book, or to pass it on to a friend or even set it out "in the wild" for someone else to find like you did. If you do choose to join and journal, then you can watch the book as it travels because you'll be alerted by email each time someone makes another journal entry. It's all confidential (you're known only by your screen name and no one is ever given your e-mail address), free, and spam-free. Happy reading!

The ending blew me away! It really was a good book, although I didn't realize it was extraordinary until I got to the very end. Anyway, I won't give it away!
