This series of tales was compiled during the recent pandemic lockdown and they include colourful incidents in the lives of bonesetters, matchmakers, youthful lovers, newcomers from beyond the mountains, a reformed villain's wedding, celebrated by the whole community for days thereafter, and lots more. This is the second volume and has been written once more in a lyrical language similar to that of past storytellers such as Mark Twain - enthralling and unbelievable at times. Reflections should certainly appeal to those not only with an interest in Ireland's social history but to fans of the author's earlier novels. 'An effortless evocation of an almost-forgotten world . . . wonderfully personable narration and endlessly charming characterisation.' Addison & Cole
