Journal Entry 1 by peggysmum from Kambah, Australian Capital Territory Australia on Monday, February 14, 2005
Jacket blurb:
"A killeen is a small graveyard, often situated at a crossroads. It was customary to bury the bodies of unbaptised babies there and the little cemeteries can still be found throughout the Irish countryside.
In Mary lelean's novel, set in Cork int he 1930s, the killeen can be seen as Ireland itself, in its early years an an independent state, an emergent nation still inhospitable to individual aspirations. And it is against the harsh background of the new republic that the overlapping story of three young people is played out."
