Set in 1946 in Ireland, three couples want to marry, but don't have the means to. The bartender offers a substantial dowry to the man who will marry his daughter. Martin steps up to the plate, but then falls into the river, is presumed drowned & her decides to stay that way. Meanwhile, the priest is attempting to get ahold of the dowry money from the bartender, since the daughter attracted the attention of an older bachelor who doesn't need the dowry to marry. A series of events among the couples, the priest, and the townfolks. And in the end, the priest gets the dowry money for the church- which was stolen American bank money & tainted - but no one is going to tell the Catholic priest that. What a hoot!

In 1946 rural Ireland, Brideen Conway has her heart set on Kieran McDermot, but one thing stands in the way of their union. The couple can't afford to marry, and Kieran's curmudgeonly father won't pass down the family farm. Kieran faces the unpleasant possibility of leaving Brideen behind to find his fortune in England. Meanwhile, wealthy pub owner Austin Glynn has more than enough money to offer a substantial dowry, if only someone would take an interest in his daughter Aideen. Kieran's feckless older brother Martin volunteers to take Aideen's hand, though the rest of the village suspects he's interested more in Austin's dowry than in his daughter. When Martin disappears after his proposal and is believed to be dead, the parish priest Father Donovan sets in motion a plot to see Brideen and Kieran wed. After all, so what if the dowry might change hands a few more times than is entirely usual, as long as the couple can tie the knot?In The Dowry, Walter Keady spins a winsome tale in the best traditions of Irish literature, applying a wealth of charm and graceful wit to this story of love, money, and marriage.
