A somber but heroic story of Ireland of to-day and Sinn Fein, by the author of "The Ratpit" and "Children of the Dead End." With a realism tempered by sympathy and understanding, Mr. MacGill shows us his people working out their small fates, by turns despicable and heroic, but always real. The girl Maureen, struggling against her tragic destiny, is an especially appealing figure among a group of noteworthy characters. " It brings before our eyes the Ireland of to-day as no amount of pamhleteering could, says the "London Times." "It has a creative richness and the supreme quality of truth."
