loved loved LOVED IT!!! so funny and yet so touching! it's a play set mostly in a hedge school in donegal, ireland, in 1833. it shows you colonization and the slow erasure of the irish languag through the eyes of ordinary, rural working people. i'd recommend it to anybody at all interested in irish history or language.
