Eugene McCabe's stories are direct and serious. They win us with their honesty and insights. To read them is a moving and memorable experience.

This is a collection of gripping stories, most of which are set in the border counties, where confusion, divided loyalties and heightened emotions are part of the stuff of everyday life.
The stories range from childhood confrontations with the adult world to a situation of murders and reprisals, where a farmer tries to live in peace despite his family's rabid fanaticism and the announcement that he is on the Provisional's death list.
