maybe its because i'm irish, but i think the heather blazing is the best, though i recently read the blackwater lightship for the first time and it comes close. i relly think that the heather blazing is the best post-war irish novel i have read (and i include all of mcgaherns work in this), and i know i am not alone in this view
