Searing account of love and pain

Absolutely one of the best novels ever to come out of Ireland. A love story involving three people, O'Flaherty's story is as wild as the Atlantic waves, as scorching as a baker's oven, as compassionate as a cow with her calf. No one has ever written about the personal and social ramifications of adultery so feelingly.
