About The Far Hills
The Far Hills was the first of Irish author Brian Cleeve's novels to be published. Written when he lived in South Africa, it is a roman à clef about his time in Dublin immediately after World War II. The novel paints an unflattering picture of lower middle-class life in Ireland's capital city in the mid-1940s. Cleeve wrote The Far Hills following his failure to find a publisher for his previous novel on the subject of ancient Crete. Because of its sexual content, The Far Hills was banned in Ireland under the strict censorship laws then in force.
