![]() ![]() One Eye is a shelter dog with a difficult past, very much like the dog Baume adopted five year ago. Throughout the book Ray talks to his dog, One Eye, releasing long bottled up feelings and sharing buried secrets. "I mean, Ray is an example of someone who's been in this village his whole life but he's strange, people perceive him to be strange and sort of steer clear of him." "Rural Ireland is a wonderful place if you're at home there or accepted there, and if not, it can be difficult," Baume says. Baume wrote the book while living in a village very much like the one in her novel. ![]() ![]() Ray is a 57-year-old man who Baume describes as "too old for starting over, too young for giving up." He is a misfit who has lived an isolated life in a small Irish village by the sea. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
