The Poor Mouth relates the story of one Bonaparte O'Coonassa, born in a cabin in a fictitious village called Corkadoragha in western Ireland equally renowned for its beauty and the abject poverty of its residents. Potatoes constitute the basis of his family's daily fare, and they share both bed and board with the sheep and pigs. A scathing satire on the Irish, this work brought down on the author's head the full wrath of those who saw themselves as the custodians of Irish language and tradition when it was first published in Gaelic in 1941.

Master of Morholm: A Novel of the Fenland

The Hardwicks of Morholm find the security of their comfortable and affluent existence shattered by the death of their patriarch, Joseph, and the arrival of their beautiful, orphaned cousin. Gentle, naive, and generous, Mary works as a catalyst on the introspective family circle: George, attractive and unpredictable, unwilling to face the responsibilities of his inheritance; James, his ambitious younger brother; Julia, their sullen and bitter sister. From the stately grounds of Morholm in the rural Fenlands to the crowded streets of London, from the glittering ballrooms to the tawdry bordellos, this is a panoramic portrayal of people, places and a bygone era.
