O'Donoghue's Pub - Mike MacDomhnaill

Rural Limerick takes centre stage in Mike MacDomhnaill's debut short story collection. Every nook and cranny of this small town locale is explored to discover the effects that emigration, abuse, rural changes, and the 'Troubles' have had on the area. Along the way the universal themes of death, grieving, family, and the power of stories are uncovered. These fifteen short stories show that people have faced similar struggles throughout time - with the wonders of life come sorrows and the author forces us to reconcile the two.
