A collection of memories and musings, topography and tales, The Man From Cape Clear contains seafaring yarns not to be found elsewhere. Conchur O Siochain lived all his days in West Cork on Cape Clear Island, the southern outpost of a deep-rooted Gaelic civilization. He was a farmer and a fisherman and he vividly depicts the rigors of island life along with the rich sense of community and humor. A gifted storyteller, he transports the reader into a world which has all but disappeared.
