The Bodhrán Makers
In The Bodhrán Makers, John B. Keane encapsulates the spirit and atmosphere of a 50's rural Ireland in decline. His language relates the warmth and simplicity of a people facing hardships from every side. The folk of the outlying country area of Dirrabeg contest with the land and elements simply to survive while conscious that the townspeople of Trallock look down on their humble ways.
They take solace in their families, old friendships, music, dance and porter. But against them is a church whose rigid dogma offers little comfort or understanding to combat the pains of life. Some of the priests are sympathetic yet they are powerless in the face of the patriarch, Cannon Tett. Assisted by his housekeeper, Nora Devane, he hears and sees all - and judges without mercy.
Keane matches humour and empathy to regale us with a tale typical of the experience of the Irish who had to choose emigration or obsolescence. The magic is in his characters and in the telling.
