The Banyan Tree

On an over-grown and run-down farm in Ireland in the late 1980's, widowed Minnie O'Brien remembers the past.She recalls her courtship and marriage in 1922 to craftsman-farmer Peter, the love of her life, whom she met at a country fair. She remembers their lives together on the farm, the births of their three children and what has become of them. Between the turf-cutting, roof-laying and hurling matches of her early married days and the "modern-age" of mains electricity and "airoplanes" lie well-worn paths of reminiscence down which Minnie rambles contentedly as she waits for her men to come home.Christopher Nolan is the author of 'The Banyan Tree' with ISBN 9780753161043 and ISBN 0753161044.
