In south Kilkenny, where Duiske stream joins the river Barrow at Graiguenamanagh, lies one of Ireland's many Norman-Cistercian abbeys. Song of Duiske is a novella set amongst this monastic community in the year 1304, a century after the abbey's foundation. It evokes the textures and rhythms of a medieval religious settlement, its peaceful routines as well as occasional trials, and celebrates with quiet lyricism the seasons and their solaces, the open sky, the fields and the woods'. A little bouquet of beauty every page throws up a gem' - Vincent Lawrence, Sunday Press Vision-like in its effect, to be savoured rather than gulped a small classic of Irish literature' - Sen Dunne, The Cork Examiner A tiny masterpiece like a miniature painting. If I were forced to live on a desert island, the little book I would want with me would be Song of Duiske' - Pat Donlon, RTE's First Edition'
