'Snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain,on the treeless hills,falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and,farther westward,softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves.'From a child grappling with the death of a fallen priest,to a young woman's dilemma over whether to elope to Argentina with her lover,to the dance party at which a man discovers just how little he really knows about his wife,these fifteen stories bring the gritty realism of existence in Joyce's native Dublin to life.
