Summary: "1846. County Cork. On the barren outskirts of Macroom, Pádraig and Cáit ua Buachalla face a perilous winter after the comprehensive failure of their blighted crop – the final episode in a whole history threatening to push them over the edge. From his shop at the centre of town, pawnbroker Cornelius Creed sees the poor in their darkest hour, his premises often being their last stop on the way to the workhouse. Perfectly placed at the juncture between the classes, through Creed we also follow the wider political events that inform local government decisions and their impact on those struggling to survive." - Book Cover
