What this book is about
George A. Birmingham's 1899 novel follows an English philanthropist who arrives in a rural Irish village with progressive intentions and encounters the gap between her understanding of what the community needs and what it actually wants. Birmingham (pen name of James Owen Hannay, an Irish rector) was known for his comedy of Irish-English relations and gentle satire of do-gooder ineffectiveness.
