From the very opening pages,we see the many memorable characters as they move about Joe and Kate Ruttledge,who have come to Ireland from London in search of a different life.There is John Quinn,who will stop at nothing to ensure a flow of women; Johnny,who left for England twenty years before in pursuit of love; and Jimmy McKiernan,head of the IRA,both auctioneer and undertaker.The gentle Jamesie and his wife Mary embody the spirit of the place.They have never left the lake but know everything that ever stirred or moved there.
In passages of beauty and truth,the drama of a year in the lives of these and many other characters unfolds through the action,the rituals of work,religious observances and play.By the novel's close we feel that we have been introduced,with deceptive simplicity,to a complete representation of existence - an enclosed world has been transformed into an Everywhere.
