Translated by Richard Cullen

Nell tells the story of a scorned woman's quest for revenge, set in a small rural town on Ireland's west coast in the early twentieth century. The story paints a vivid picture of a simpler life in bygone times while delving into the intense emotions of escalating jealousy, the driving force behind the desire for revenge. At its heart, the story contrasts traditional Irish values with the natural human urge for retribution.
