Masterpiece,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Curse of the Wise Woman (Hardcover)
One of my favorite books of all time and one of the very first novels to deal with an environmental issue. What environmental issue? Saving a bog, a piece of ground that many would consider of little use or beauty. But a young man in Ireland in the last quarter or so of the 19th Century sees all its beauty and loves the bog, which is about to be torn up for development. What can save it? His only allies seem to be the young woman he loves, an Irish fighter who once seriously considered shooting him, a wise woman living on the edge of the bog and her very wise but unlettered son. The story takes one just to the edge of Irish myth. It concerns love, forgiveness and the wonder of the world.
Highly recommended.

A Well Woven Plot,
By A Customer
This review is from: Curse of the Wise Woman (Hardcover)
A very good book for those who love Dunsany's other books. I can't tell very much about this book, because to tell a little is to give away too much. I'd recommend this book for those who can follow a story very well, and enjoy some suspense.
