Reviews
On Feb 24 2015, The Old Library Bookshop said:
When the evils of the world seem to press down from every side, then is the time to take up a novel like this one by Canon Patrick Augustine Sheehan and let its sweetness work its magic. Sheehan was a Catholic priest and advocate for rights for his beloved Irish people. Yet in this novel at least, the hero is a wealthy landlord and--saints forbid--a Protestant. Bob Maxwell is goaded by Outram, a consummate imperialist fresh from India, to accept the challenge to live for a year as an Irish peasant. He finds charitable hospitality with the McAuliffe family at their bit of a farm they call Lisheen. For months, the family shares their meager food and pitiful lodgings with Maxwell, even caring for him through a dreadful bout of rheumatic fever. Although the setting of this novel predates the Great Famine, the horrors of eviction are already widespread and here graphically described. The reader, however dismayed by the turn of events, reads on eagerly in the sure knowledge that, as in a novel by Dickens, all will come out right in the end. A sprinkle of romance and a dash of the exotic East add a bit of spice to this otherwise sweet little novel.
