Leaving Ardglass

In 1962 MJ, an Irish building contractor in London, brings over his kid brother Tom Galvin to join the family business. Educated, sensitive, naïve, and destined for the seminary, Tom witnesses a killing, learns about dead men, experiences drunken brawls, and the excitement of dance-hall nights in the Galtymore. Will he join his successful brother and make a fortune, or follow an inner voice towards the priesthood? ""King offers a lively and absorbing look at the moral quandaries that grow from the intersection of Irish history and religion."" Booklist
