Sna haistí seo, pléann Ó Cathasaigh obair Uí Chadhain mar ghníomhaí polaitiúil, agus ceachtanna atá le baint aisti inniu. Scagann sé scéalta dá chuid, mar a d’fhorbair a chiall don litríocht agus an saol ag athrú. Téann sé i ngleic leis an gcaoi ar caitheadh le scríbhinní Uí Chadhain, i dteangacha éagsúla, agus lena bhfuil ráite ag na criticeoirí faoi. Ní thógann sé aon chlaí idir polaitíocht agus scéalaíocht Uí Chadhain, ag seasamh air i gcónaí go gcaithfear éisteacht lena ghlór ina iomláine.

Cnuasach é seo a chaitheann súil ar chruachas an duine agus é i ngleic le fírinní éagsúla an tsaoil-agus leis bréaga. on am i láthair go dtí an t-am atá caite- agus fiú go haimsir chaite nach raibh riamh ann- tugtar sinn ar cuairt na cruinne, camcuairt a thosaíonn “ar bhfichiú hoileán is mó ar domhan”, tí aineoil a n-aithneoidh an léitheoir go maith í, fiú faoi chló nua.
