The historical divisions of Ireland are played out in this fine novel which pits the will of a wealthy Protestant landowner against that of the bastard child of his Catholic wife. The conflict is not only religious: it is the story of old respected families subjected to the will of the new rich; youthful desire pitted against an ageing, heavy heart; and the mixed attractions of loyalty and rebellion. The unthinkable action of one is met by the unthinkable action of the other in a closeted world of moral confusion and deep anguish. All logic and love of life are destroyed in this passionate and descriptive tale. Written in 1992, Death and Nightingales is a novel about Ireland that thoroughly deserves its growing status as a classic of our times.
