Under the guise of how electricity comes to a small village in Ireland during the 1950s, Williams combines a heart wrenching story of guilt and regret, a poignant coming of age story and hilarious anecdotes about the villagers and everyday life. Steeped in nostalgia, his prose is sublime and his characters unforgettable. If you want to be instantly transported out of present worrying times, this is the book to do it!
