Jennifer Lash was the pseudonym of Jini Fiennes, the mother of Ralph Fiennes. Review from The Spectator: "A plot summary of The Dust Collector is not only unfair but also unilluminating: in a small Irish town an old man collects dust - literally, in boxes and bottles - and after being misunderstood and accused of child-molesting and theft, is passed from priest to police to loony-bin and eventually becomes a sort of celebrity. It is a novel about existence, and Joseph Finn's attitude to his dust specimens - his enjoyment of their different natures without any need to see them as useful - is a metaphor for the author's attitude to the people and places in her little town ...
