Gabriel Galloway
SUMMARY — Gabriel Galloway, a first novel remarkable for its power of characterization, tells the story of three generations of an Irish family. The opening chapters, which appeared in the Atlantic for November, familiarize us with the small crumbling village of Castlerampart with its gray, ivy-grown ruins, its thatched cottages and turbulent little river The most prominent man in Castlerampart is Theodore Coniffe, the village landlord, who is indubitably a man of wealth, as the somber quality of his clothes and his house in Clewe Street give proof. Theodore, lean and sharp-nosed is as penny-pinching as his wife Katherine is vain. Their two daughters, Theresa and Sara, now in their teens, will soon be young laches of property, if not of good looks. But to her dismay Katherine, in her thirty-ninth year, discovers that she is again with child. Theodore is secretly jubilant, for this time he is sure that it will be a boy. But the village thinks otherwise.
