McMahon, the island curate.In a powerful story of conflict involving, religion, love, and politics, McMahon is tortured by his feelings for Lily and âÇÖwhat might have beenâÇÖ. Love, or more accurately the rejection of it, is the motif of this first novel by Liam OâÇÖFlaherty and the explosive and passionate story that unfolds is told with skillful exacting prose, of the kind that has led to Liam OâÇÖFlaherty being described as âÇÖa master weaver of wordsâÇÖ.áLiam OâÇÖ Flaherty (1896-1984) was born in the Aran Islands of Ireland. He wrote his first novel in 1923. Awarded the Irish Academy of Letters Award for Literature, OâÇÖFlaherty wrote fourteen novels, including Famine, a number of short stories and countless other works.
