Book Synopsis Careless of the hurts he inflicts along the way, Bart OBreen walks his own road, as proud as the devil and as lonely as hell. In the Galway village of Boola, Bart OBreen is a strong wilful young man who leaves trouble and harm in his wake. As always in a novel by Walter Macken, there is a host of memorable secondary characters, and an unfailing accuracy and warmth in the depiction of the life of the plain people of the west of Ireland. One of Walter Mackens finest novels, Sunset on the Window-Panes is a moving and memorable story of Irish life.
