Description

A LIFE OF YOUR OWN

A magnificent gathering of half the stories originally published in Collection Three — the stories Frank O'Connor judged worthy of preserving in `collected form'.

They abound with colourful characters, young and old, rich and poor, priests and parishioners, doctors and patients, postmen, teachers and nightwatchmen.

Frank O'Connor takes the reader into their homes, pubs, churches, parties and wakes, involving him in their fights, loves, births and deaths with a warmth, intimacy and vitality which has never been surpassed.

`How supremely readable O'Connor's stories are.' — The Spectator

`Full of good things ... perhaps his greatest asset was his ability to communicate his deep understanding of the Irish people.' — Sheffield Morning Telegraph

`O'Connor loved and understood his country and her people with generous fervour ..: — Western Daily Press

MASCULINE PROTEST and other stories, also available in Pan Books, contains the balance of the stories originally published in Collection Three.
