These evocative images of rural life form a narrative thread with the
not-so-distant past. Fitzgerald's camera focuses on the back roads of
the countryside, and records intimate moments of people in their
cottages and farms. The dimly-lit rooms of Ireland prior to the arrival
of electricity are eloquently remembered in his first-hand account of
his childhood years; his early experiences observing light and shadow in
a world illuminated by candlelight. The result is a unique album that is
both compelling and graceful.
