Tells the absorbing story of post-famine Donegal, the Molly Maguires -- a secret society who had set themselves up against the exploitation of the rural poor -- and Patrick McGlynn -- an avaricious schoolmaster who turned informer on them, availing of hunger, disease, debt, hardship, and death to expand his holding at the expense of his neighbours.
