5.0 out of 5 stars As good as being there, 24 Oct 2005
By Donald Lush "lushd" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ireland: A Novel (Paperback)
Frank Delaney has pulled off the near impossible task of transporting the reader to an Irish fireside in the 1950s. This book recreates and retells the story of Ireland from her own myths and folklore through the tales of an itinerant storyteller and his most devoted fan.

I don't know how it would affect someone who wasn't raised on these wonderful tales but as someone who was I felt proud and moved and enthralled, just like the hero of the story, Ronan.

Can't recommend this highly enough. If you are English, you should read it just to find out who is living next door. You'll be amazed and thrilled, I hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 3 Dec 2004
By Ms ME O'Donoghue (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book was a joy from start to finish. It evoked every emotion in me, from sadness, wonderment, awe and happiness. Through the authors descriptive writing I was taken on a journey through time and I remembered stories I was told long ago as a child.

As an ex-pat I embraced this book from the beginning and it didn't disappoint, it gave me my own piece of Ireland on every page.

With books like this, our sense of history and love of storytelling will never die.

I found this book very entertainitng as well as interesting so its well worth a read if you ask me. Just dont be put off by the word history as its really very very good!
