Leaves for Burning

"Leaves for the Burning", Mervyn Wall's third novel, and his first non humorous work was written in 1952. Set in a small Irish midlands town, it explores the passing of youth and opportunity and the onset of premature aging, against the back drop of a fiercely insular small community.
