'Mr. Peader O'Donnell has, as Mr. Robert Lynd truly says, brought a family to life in his novel Islanders... The curtain is lifted on the rough heroic struggle for existence of a community of Irish fishermen off the western coast, and we are privileged for a brief space to join them in their griefs and pleasures as one of themselves.. It is excellent to find a book in which there is no more straining after effect than there is in the best of Wordsworth's sonnets. There is no hint of mere cleverness from beginning to end' Daily Telegraph

About the Author:
Peadar O'Donnell was born in Meenamore, Donegal in 1893 and trained as a teacher at St Patrick's College, Dublin. In 1918 he joined the staff of the ITGWU in Dublin and with the outbreak of the War of Independence he joined the IRA and quickly rose through the ranks. He took the republican side in the Civil War and was in the Dublin Four Courts with Liam Mellows and fellow republicans when they were attacked by the Free State Army. He escaped from Harepark Internment Camp, Kildare in March 1924.
Review:
As we read it we can positively rejoice in the heroism of human beings. --Peter Lynd
