Carrigmore: Or Light And Shade In West Kerry is a novel written by John Joseph Kennedy and published in 1909. The book is set in the rugged landscape of West Kerry, Ireland, and follows the story of a young man named Dermot O'Donovan who returns home after studying in Dublin. Dermot is eager to reconnect with his family and friends, but he soon realizes that life in the countryside is not as idyllic as he remembered. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal as Dermot becomes embroiled in a web of family secrets and political intrigue. He is torn between his love for his childhood sweetheart, Eileen, and his duty to his father, who is involved in a bitter feud with a rival family. As the story unfolds, Dermot must navigate the complex social and political landscape of rural Ireland, where ancient traditions and modern ideas clash. The book also touches on wider issues such as the struggle for Irish independence and the tension between rural and urban life. Carrigmore: Or Light And Shade In West Kerry is a richly detailed and engaging novel that vividly portrays the beauty and complexity of life in rural Ireland at the turn of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish literature or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
