Leaves for the Burning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First edition (publ. Methuen)

Leaves for the Burning is Mervyn Wall's third novel, and his first non-humorous work. Set in a small town in the Irish midlands, it explores the passing of youth and opportunity and the onset of premature aging, against the backdrop of a fiercely-insular community.[1][2]
