Laethanta Saoire: The Summer Visitor, a tale of Beara by Eibhlís Carcione
The Beara peninsula provides the setting for The Summer Visitor, by Eibhlís Carcione.
The road to Lochabhán was a shoelace under a web of willow and hawthorn. The summer sun was low in the red sky. Mackerel clouds streaked the horizon, always the threat of rain and the faint beginnings of a crescent moon hanging like a charm above the church steeple.
Bere Island was a washed-up whale in the harbour. Behind me, Hungry Hill hunkered like a heather-covered wolf.
