Widowed and now the last lonely inhabitant of a small island in Northwestern Ireland, Se n is tired, grieving, and ready to be done with his life. Long estranged from his only child, and spurred by his wife's last words to him, Se n dreams up an elaborate plan that cannot fail to heal the rift between them--a plan that will test the strength and resolve of an elderly hero who would rather stay in his chair by the fire with a cup of tea.
The Currach and the Corncrake is a heroic journey of hope and reconciliation. It is about monks, monsters, and manuscripts; boats, birds, and old bones.
