Description: The devastating and emotional story of yearning and obsession in 1930s rural Ireland. Out of nowhere the herbalist appears one morning and sets up shop in the market square of a dull midlands town. In this place where everything is a shade of brown or grey, the black man wearing the pale suit and straw hat is the lightest thing there. The townspeople call him The Don and with his potions and lotions the exotic stranger seems to have a cure for all that ails them.
Notes: Published by W.F. Howes under the Clipper imprint.
