Description
Samhradh na bliana 1969, tugtar triúr ógánach le chéile ar thránna iarthar Chorcaí, triúr a n-athraítear a saol ó bhonn nuair a thagann an ceathrú duine ina measc, garmhac an Ghinearáil. Deich mbliana níos deireanaí a thagann deireadh leis an scéal, agus an Ginearál ar leaba a bháis. Scéal grá agus tragóid é seo a suitear i saol atá comhthreomhar, ach nach bhfuil ródhifriúil, le saol ár linne féin.

In the summer of 1969, on the beaches of west Cork. three young people are brought together, three people whose lives are fundamentally changed when a fourth person, the grandson of the General, joins them. Ten years later, the story ends with the General on his deathbed. This is a story of love and tragedy set in a parallel world, not very different to our own.
Colm Ó Ceallacháin lives in Cork. Two collections of short stories with him have been published, I d’Tír Mílis na mBeo (2017) and Ré na Fathach (2021). He has won Oireachtas awards, as well as awards from the Arts Council. Fiche is his first novel.
