Ireland 590 A.D.

A woman is found by a track, nearly dead from appalling wounds and remembers nothing. Her terror and her injuries are so great that she is given sanctuary in Mother Gobnait's unusual community of nuns, while all around her a war is being waged in which she is a pawn. The women name her Aine.

Disturbing fragments of ine's memory begin to surface, and in desperation she asks to remain in the safety of the community, but is it really safe for her anywhere?

It is only after events take another terrible turn that ine is forced to discover who she really is and make life-changing choices - but will they prove to be her undoing?

A literary novel inspired by real women - complex female characters who strain against the cruel chains and crippling prejudices of a society where no woman has power. Except, perhaps, one...

Kristin Gleeson has performed with admirable deftness the difficult trick of sweeping the reader back in time to the distant emotional and physical landscapes of 6th century Ireland. The result is a highly readable and continuously rewarding novel that the reader does not want to end--Tim Weed, author of Will Poole's Island

I found in this well-told story, the first strokes of paint on the huge, mostly blank, canvas that is our image and perception of our Irish or Gaelic past - the canvas of our increasingly dispossessed native culture. I found myself drawn into a realm that felt oddly familiar and full of cultural touchstones of the indigenous Irish past, faint echoes of which still linger in parts of this island today.In Praise of the Bees is a good read.

Works perfectly!
Size: S
This clamp works perfectly! Holds the siphon tube securely. When you buy one of these clamps, measure the inside siphon tube. Not the outside tube the inner tube slides in. This was a bit confusing, but I got the right one and I'm happy with it!

Works as intended.
Size: S
The fact that this holds the racking cane in place is fantastic. It is like having another set of hands However, I would have liked to see a version, or additional piece of hardware that could be used to keep the cane from moving around so much and to keep it tilted toward the direction the carboy is tilted. But nonetheless, the unit does what it is intended.

Small clip, big help
Size: S
I've been making wine for 3 years now. Due to a cramped work area I use about 20 carboys which makes for lots of siphoning each time I need to re-rack. This small clip has made the process so much less hassle. It clips nicely to the 3, 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys that I use. It's tight enough on the siphon tube to prevent slippage. Pro-tip: Once your siphon is started, slide the clip around the rim of the carboy to position it under the siphon hose. This will keep the siphon tube fairly straight up and down in the carboy. Otherwise, the weight and pressure of the hose will cause the tube to not be vertical and you'll miss a larger portion of your beverage in the re-rack than you would if the tube were perfectly vertical.

Hold the tube. Save the world.
Size: S
Very great item. The printing resolution is very good and you can tell from the rigidity that it was not sparsely filled. Helps holds siphons onto my 5gal glass carboy and plastic bucket. I also used it to weigh down my siphon tube for a makeshift blow off tube during fermentation. Would recommend.

Very small
Size: S
I tried to use it for something it wasn’t advertised for so it’s partially my fault. I tried to use to hold wa washer discharge hose. The specs don’t say the size. This thing is tiny… it really is just for a tubing… and when I tried to return it they wanted to charge me almost as much as the original price… not worth it unless you know it will work
