BBC Radio 4 - Short Works, Series 1, The Road to True Love

Once, the road to true love ran through the townland of Faha in the west of Ireland.

In 1958 there were only 13 cars in the parish of Faha in County Clare, Ireland. One day, two of them crashed headlong. It was called an accident. It was not. By Niall Williams.

A new story by the acclaimed Irish novelist Niall Williams, author of the 2014 Man Booker Prize longlisted 'History of the Rain'. Williams has written several best selling novels, including 'Four Letters of Love' and 'The Fall of Light', and has lived in County Clare in the west of Ireland for over thirty years.
