Mary O’Connor is the product of a family and a town divided by the conflicting values of the "shanty" and "lace-curtain" Irish. Originally published in 1948, The Parish and the Hill is now identified as one of the finest works of Irish American fiction, and one of the first to explore Irish life from a woman's point of view. The book may mean more to fellow Irish-Americans from Holyoke than to others, but I found the character studies of lace curtain and shanty Irish of "Ireland Parish" rang very true. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the society and life of a nearly a century ago in this small mill town.
