 Despite the acclaim the book received, and the widespread revulsion towards aspects of Gill's sexual life that followed publication, MacCarthy received some criticism for revealing Gill's incest in his daughter's lifetime.In 1924, Gill moved to the Monastery (built by Fr Ignatius) at Capel-y-ffin near Llanthony Abbey in Wales but soon tired of it, coming to feel that it had the wrong atmosphere and was too far from London, where most of his clients were.In 1928 he moved to Pigotts at Speen near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire where he lived for the rest of his life.
