Is fiú an leabhar a léamh ar mhaithe leis an méid de nadúir Phádraic atá inti. Dar leat gurb é a bheatha féin a scríobh sé agus giota beag léi." — Seosamh Mac Grianna

Tom Connor is the parish priest on a Gaeltacht island, where he is actively fighting to support a community devestated by emmigration and poverty. His housekeeper, Marion, who lives in the parochial house with him, tells him that she is pregnant with his child. Tom must decide between his duty to his parishoners, his love for Marion, and his belief in the priesthood. The resolution of his dilemma makes for dramatic and heartbreaking reading. Bob Quinn's award-winning film Budawanny (1987) is based on this novel. Pádraig Standún was born in Mayo in 1946. A well-known community activist, he is serving as parish priest in Carna, Co. Galway.
