About this book
My Lady of the Chimney Corner is credited to Alexander Irvine, and the book describes itself as a story of love and poverty in Irish peasant life. The foreword calls the book the torn manuscript of the most beautiful life its writer ever knew, merely pieced and patched together, with the names of the little group of neighbors who lived with them neither changed nor disguised. When Jamie became a journeyman shoemaker, the priest was asked to perform the marriage ceremony and refused, and the couple were married by the vicar of the parish church.
Anna's mother tells her suffering will be her portion in this world, and Anna answers that she has made her choice before God. Jamie takes his hand from a staff and it falls, neither toward Belfast nor Dublin, but toward the town of Antrim, and toward Antrim they set out on foot.
