yarb Yep - written in 1896. And I presume set contemporaneously. Jul 31, 2008
chained_bear Thank heaven someone on Wordie is somewhat less lazy than I am. Thanks rt! Jul 31, 2008
reesetee Hey c_b, there's a free download of the book at Project Gutenberg, if you're interested. Yarb makes it sound so interesting that I may read it myself. :-) Jul 31, 2008
chained_bear When was it written, though? (I'm assuming the novel wasn't written in 1896 but was set in that time...?)
Thanks for sharing. Jul 31, 2008
yarb Nope, it's the Irish being insulted here.
I only began reading it today; it's 1896, about a frustrated young methodist pastor stuck in a provincial town far from the city glitz where his talents belong; he's just met the foxy (Irish) daughter of a local magnate, and seems to be doubting his faith (religious, marital) already! Gosh. Very well written. Jul 31, 2008
chained_bear Wow. Is he still talking about "Eyetalians"? My Eyetalian grandfather and his brothers worked in a quarry. My grandfather saw his brother die in a landslide. I don't think they were compensated. *ponders*
Can you tell me more about this book, yarb? I never heard of this one but it looks interesting. Jul 31, 2008
yarb "I've had 'em in my quarries for years, an' they ain't got no idee of decency or fair dealin'. Every time the price of stone went up, every man of 'em would jine to screw more wages out o' me."
