Set in a rural Irish village, the narrative explores the lives of its inhabitants, from the Ruttledges, who abandon city life for farming, to Jamesie Murphy, whose gossiping nature captivates and unsettles those around him. The story also follows John Quinn, a man in search of love, and the town's wealthy figure known as "the Shah," a self-made magnate. Through rich characterizations and a compassionate lens, the novel captures the community's natural rhythms and the complexities of human relationships.
