Rich in the details of Irish life and love, with a narrative that evokes both a time and place with the accuracy of a keen, unsentimental eye, this novel tells the story of a priest who must struggle to preserve what remains of a parish in an isolated village where the women mysteriously die.
Review:
"Anchored in the very textures of a hard daily life lived by real people in real places, O'Doherty's novel of village has more in it of a true Ireland--and world--than many a dozen others."
Kirkus, 03/15/1999

Book Description: Turtle Point Press, United States, 1999. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In a London pub in the 1950s, editor William Maginn is intrigued by a reference to the reputedly shameful demise of a remote mountain village in Kerry, Ireland, where he was born. Maginn returns to Kerry and uncovers an astonishing tale: both the account of the destruction of a place and a way of life which once preserved Ireland's ancient traditions, and the tragedy of an increasingly isolated village where the women mysteriously die-leaving the priest, Father McGreevy, to cope with insoluble problems. Looking back in time, the book traces how, as World War II rages through Europe, McGreevy struggles to preserve what remains of his parish, and struggles against the rough mountain elements, the grief and superstitions of his people, and the growing distrust in the town below. The Deposition of Father McGreevy is a remarkable story, and a gripping exploration of both the locus of misfortune and the nature of evil. Rich in the details of Irish lore and life, its narrative evokes both a time and a place with the accuracy of a keen, unsentimental eye, and renders its characters with heartfelt depth.
