The narrative follows a ragged traveler named Patsy Mac Cann and his daughter Mary as they navigate a world infused with magical realism. The story is set amid the lush Irish landscape and blends mythology with the daily struggles of its characters, particularly exploring themes of hunger, desire, and companionship. The opening of the book introduces us to Patsy Mac Cann and his daughter Mary as they engage in a whimsical dialogue about their donkey and their meager food supplies. Their banter sets a humorous tone while also revealing their simple, country living conditions. As twilight descends, they encounter three angels who have descended to earth. These celestial beings initiate a moment of wonder and curiosity, both for the Mac Canns and themselves, which transitions them into a deeper exploration of existence, leading to unexpected companionship and shared experiences. The initial interactions between the characters demonstrate a blend of lightheartedness and profundity, suggesting themes of connection and the search for sustenance—both physical and spiritual—as they journey through life together.
