LOVE AND SAVAGERY

Love and Savagery is a story of passion, fate, and the consequences of the two.

In 1968, Newfoundland poet Michael McCarthy travels to Ballyvaughan in Ireland to study the visually stunning landscape of the Burren. There he meets Cathleen, a beautiful woman who captures his heart, but because of the path she has chosen cannot allow him to capture hers.

Savagery erupts when Michael’s persistence collides with the townspeople’s hostility toward a foreigner’s attempt to intervene with divinity. Cathleen has to choose between a desire that she has recently discovered and a desire that she has felt throughout most of her life.

Will she choose the love of a man, or the love of God? Can she love both? Is she strong enough to make the right choice?
