Description

A well-researched novel of Ireland in Napoleonic times. The Kybe is a vivid historical novel and a story of true human passion in which the drama of ordinary lives is played out against the backcloth of the greater drama of history. Set in the early 19th century, the story focuses on the interlocking lives of a small village in North County Dublin. The novel is a skilled, detailed and imaginative recreation of a whole community. Work, transport, living conditions, political, social and religious practices, speech forms, clothing, household items, food - all are effectively worked into the broader historical canvas.
