Letters of an Irish Parish Priest

There is a riot of laughter in every page and its theme is the correspondence between a country parish priest and his nephew who is studying to be a priest.Fr. O'Mora has been referred to by one of his parishioners as one who "is suffering from an overdose of racial memory aggravated by religious bigotry". J.B. Keane's humour is neatly pointed, racy of the soil and never forced.This book gives a picture of a way of life which though it is in great part vanishing is still familiar to many of our country-men who still believe that "priests could turn them into goats". It brings out all the humour and pathos of Irish life. It is hilariously funny and will entertain and amuse everybody.
