The Ginger Man - Donleavy, J. P.

O'Keefe, Marion and their various student and artisan friends inhabit a vibrant world A world where you have to be prepared to haggle with shopkeepers to sell you two ounces of butter This bright environment is a part of Ireland, but it is also located in the thoughts and feelings of Donleavy's characters, where memory, desire and humour smooth over some of the harshness of day to day life in the ramshackle Balscaddoon
