I have received a request from a user who is looking for a book for someone she
knows. The book in question is a novel published in the 1930s or 1940s, with
the title of "The Road" or "The Fork in the Road". It is set in Ireland and
probably was published there. The author's name might possibly be McCormick.

She summarized the plot as follows: "A man leaves his village, with his family
and his possessions. He does not have a specific destination in mind, but
eventually there is a fork in the road. He has to choose the right or the left,
so he chooses one way and ends up at another village. The story is written
looking back on this choice (the fork in the road) and what happened as a
result of choosing that fork.

Many thanks to anyone who can help identify this book!
