By the Lake by John McGahern

By

Monday, September 16 through Friday, October 11, 2002. Read by Karl Schmidt.

John McGahern is one of Ireland’s foremost writers, and his new novel is a tribute to the people who make up his country. The story is not new: Joe and Kate Ruttledge move from high pressure jobs in London to a farm near a small Irish village and become involved in the lives of the villagers. The richness of the characters and the attention to details of daily life make this story immensely appealing.
