Stranger at Killknock

About this book

An isolated fishing village on the Atlantic coast of Ireland provides the backdrop for this poignant yet gently humorous story of the conflict between Christian and Celtic beliefs. Deeply spiritual and profoundly human. "A beautiful and lyrical story blessed with the simplicity of truth and faith... If you have a heart, it will reach out to you and give you the comfort of the seas and the mountains." *– The Associated Press* "A cherished treasure of love, life and spiritual renewal in midcentury Ireland. I first read this when I was thirteen, and loved it. Rereading it now, decades later, it is even lovelier. The descriptions are breathtakingly vivid and real, the people strongly drawn, and the mixture of human and spiritual themes delicately and beautifully done." – *Amazon Review*
