Join Caledonia tonight 'round the fire for a Seanchai Library tradition: Maurice Walsh's 1933 short story about a man returning to his home in Ireland, where rather than peace and contentment he finds romance, neighborhood politics, and perhaps the path to mending what's broken inside of him.
"Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of twenty, went to the States to seek his fortune. And fifteen years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not, no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done. A quiet man, under middle size, with strong shoulders and deep-set blue eyes below brows darker than his dark hair—that was Shawn Kelvin."
