This whole novel talks about the culture and the life or Ireland in 1980’s. It takes us to the period where people love to live in villages and with nature. It talks about the feminism and the Romance at that time. It talks about how the people are blindly attached to their tradition. Clearly it distinguished the culture and life of twentieth century and twenty-first one.
