The Herd is a novel written by J. Olive Patricia Ward. The book is set in the rural countryside of Ireland and tells the story of a family that owns a dairy farm. The family, known as The Herd, is led by the patriarch, Paddy, who is a traditional farmer who is resistant to change. His daughter, Ellen, has returned from America to help run the farm, but she has a different vision for the future of the business. The story revolves around the conflict between Paddy and Ellen, as well as the other members of the family who are caught in the middle. There are also tensions between the family and the wider community, as they struggle to adapt to the changing times and the pressures of modern agriculture. As the story unfolds, we see the characters grapple with issues of loyalty, tradition, and progress. There are also themes of love, loss, and family ties woven throughout the narrative. Overall, The Herd is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of rural life and the challenges faced by those who work the land. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in Irish literature, family dramas, or stories about the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
