On a wild Irish strand Kate flees in panic from her best friend's kiss, then must search for him through the universe. This first volume of Finnegan's Kate-Pearl series, at once stirring romance and spiritual parable, has won many plaudits for Its literary style, reminiscent of writers like Joyce, Faulkner, Hopkins, Yeats, or Homer. This revised and enlarged edition, reproduced with corrections from the author's original manuscript, includes an extended analysis of its unusual style and genesis.
