Five Golden Rings & A Diamond: Game of Love

"The story is set in Ireland, about a girl from a culture not commonly experienced by westerners. Her maturing life is one of subjection, which she rejects. As circumstances prevail she escapes from the subjectivity only to be captured by more subjectivity of a different kind. Being a female she carries the burden of rearing the children. Tragedies play a big part in Niamh's life, but she pulls through with the help of good folk." (Revierer, HMS, 2020)
