The twelve stories take us from the cell of a rebel prisoner in 1916 through hard times in Dublin of the 1930s and into the changing world of Ireland in the sixties and seventies. The final, title story is a quintessential tale of the nineteen eighties. Author Colm Toibin described this story as: "one of the finest short stories that has been published in Ireland for many years".
