The Red-Haired Woman and Other Stories
The short stories collected here are among the best ever written about Ireland, distinguished by Sigerson Clifford's concise, masterful treatment of themes such as unrequited love, murderous hatred, betrayal, disappointment and hope. The changing fortunes of life are depicted in miniature. Lyrical description blends seamlessly with naturalistic dialogue so that the voices of farmers, fishermen, emigrants and children sing clearly through tales that are poignant, witty, brave and true. Irish Short Stories is a classic of Irish literature, confirming Clifford's place among the pre-eminent writers about Ireland and the Irish.

A simple, yet lovely collection of short stories.
"Imagination is everything in a world going fast to the devil with realism."
