Pete McCarthy

Opis

This book is the result of a lifelong love affair with Ireland. On an odyssey taking him from Cork to Donegal, the author challenges his idyllic memories of childhood summers spent in Ireland and finds the charm of the Irish people still remains.

Recenzje

'In its freewheeling, informal, jokey way, it is nothing less than an portrait of modern Ireland, in all its splendid contradictions. For a study on Ireland and Irishness, the book is exhilaratingly cosmopolitan in outlook ... Television's loss has been literature's gain.'
Telegraph
