The folk of Furry Farm

An episodic portrait of life on a solitary but well-kept farm and its surrounding village on the Irish plain. Linked chapters trace domestic routines, neighborly gossip, matchmaking, a mysterious daylight apparition, the consequences of a young woman’s departure, the arrival of an American visitor, and the play of children. The narrative relies on regional voice and quiet humor to explore communal rhythms, small moral dilemmas, and the ways ordinary events shape bonds, obligations, and identities within a close rural community.
