Allen & Unwin High Ground book Literary fiction English Paperback

The stories in High Ground are set in ordinary places: in the streets and suburbs and dancehalls of Dublin, the small towns and fields of the midlands, and the big houses of the beleaguered Anglo-Irish in the aftermath of their ascendancy. As a whole, the collection paints a portrait of the entire changing country propelled in a generation from the nineteenth into the late twentieth century.
