Dr David Benn, a young Dublin Jew, arrives at Saint Elba's Mental Hospital in Dargle.He's the new locum, and it's 1969, when strange things were actually happening. A time when some challenging ideas were translated into actions. Even in the small, closed Catholic community where a love affair takes its course. "Diseases of locums." David read aloud from the book. "It says here that locums suffer anxiety, a nameless dread, a sense that the world is going to suddenly come to an end". He turned the page. "They envy those with long term security." "Sounds everyday stuff for your average Yid."

Review:
"A gem of a novel. David Benn represents, in so many ways, the curious life of living on the border - an insider on the outside and the outsider on the inside - in Ireland in the 60s - a tradition and culture so exquisitely evoked here in its detail, and its need for, yet resistance to, change. The book is at once racey and iconoclastic, it is about love and loss and is not a stranger to the darkness of human relations - [with a quirky detail of insight which keeps the pages rapidly turning." Margot Waddell
