Why it was banned
Liam O'Flaherty's second novel, banned in Ireland under the Censorship of Publications Act 1929 — the first year the Act was in operation. The novel depicts the moral corruption of a wealthy Galway family. It was not published in Ireland for over eighty years; a new Irish edition appeared in 2013.
