An introspective look at a village outside Galway, Ireland that follows the relationship between Abbey, a young Canadian and Dermot, an older Irish man. If only Dermot could find some way of making her stay. "A fence,"; he thinks. "Everyone should have one. And at that moment Dermot believes it, thinks that his problems might be solved, solvable, if he can contain them, separate them. Mine and yours. The bungalows over there, the cottage over here and Dermot and Abbey in the middle of it, drawn together by a patch of land, wood and wire around them."; Hunter lives in Vancouver with her dog Fiddle. 1-55192-568-0
