BOOK REVIEW: Ireland, A Novel
|
by Frank Delaney
This
fantastic books is a melding of the timeline, a mixture of truth,
folklore and history that any lover of the Emerald Isle would delight
to read.
I am a great lover of folklore... I was raised on fairy
tales and mystery/adventure books and I *still* loved to read them...
and this book has a little of everything.
It is the story of a
boy... who becomes a man. It is the tale of his life, and of the
extraordinary people who shaped it. It is his story interspersed
with folklore and history.
It is well written, from every angle,
and a fascinating look into the lives of the Irish. This English
Catholic was moved to tears when she read about what her countrymen had
done to the Irish Catholics...
If you love Ireland, you will love this book.
A hearty read, it is definitely a long one!
***** 5 Stars.

And
book recommendations would be gratefully accepted... as my Summer
Reading Challenge is to read at least 5 books recommended by
others. I am very picky, so please, read on!!
