Details: This book is in the Irish-language / Gaelic / Gaeilge. 'Cré na Cille' is widely considered to be one of the most important literary works in the canon of modern Irish literature. Set in a graveyard in Conamara sometime in the late 1940s, its principal character is an old woman, Caitríona Pháidín. On her burial, she finds a lively community of her already-dead neighbours below ground arguing between themselves over whatever issues were uppermost in their minds when they died. As they continue their arguing and wrangling, newcomers to the graveyard impart the latest information about the world of the living. It makes for lively exchanges and oft times hilarious repartee and razor-sharp dialogue between a motley crew of characters.
