While the 'Celtic Tiger' rages in Ireland, and greed becomes the norm, Johnsey Cunliffe desperately tries to hold on to the familiar, even as he loses those who all his life have protected him from a harsh world. Village bullies and scheming land-grabbers stand in his way, no matter where he turns. Set over the course of one year of Johnsey's life, this novel reflects his grief, bewilderment, humor, and agonizing self-doubt. A tale of a lonely man struggling to make sense of a world moving faster than he is.
