Product Description
For centuries, Irish matchmakers have performed a vital service, bringing people together in love and marriage. It is a mysterious art, and the very best matchmakers have an almost magical quality to them. Willie Daly, whose father and grandfather were matchmakers before him, is the most celebrated of them all. Each year his tiny home town of Lisdoonvarna (population 800) hosts a matchmaking festival that attracts 40,000 visitors from around the world. They all hope to meet Willie, 'the horse whisperer of matchmaking'. With his unique blend of intuition, quiet wisdom and a small drop of cunning, Willie has brought together hundreds of couples over the years. In The Last Matchmaker he recounts some of the best stories along with his own. The path to love can be heart-warming, hilarious, sometimes hair-raising - and Willie is the perfect guide. The Last Matchmaker is a fascinating journey into the world of matchmaking and a timely reminder that the search for love is the greatest quest of all. And should the reader be looking for love, Willie has some hard-learned, practical advice to share...

Loved it! Great read you can really get lost in. Very funny and quirky - Willie is a real character. This story will most certainly be made into a movie! Only wish it were a bit longer.

Nice, gentle sometimes funny tale of Willie Daly. Good for a quick read. A bit like watching The Quiet Man. Would recommend.
Format:Hardcover
What a lovely read!
If you love romance, you'll love the great story of Willie Daly and the matchmakers before him: You feel like you're listening Willie tell you his tales from the barstool next to you in a pub, and as such it's great escapism. No smut, nothing graphic - just good old fashioned romance and all of it real (give or take a bit of blarney!).
This book embraces the simple things in life and has certainly planted in me a desire to visit the West of Ireland: Maybe I'll take my mum too, she could do with a nice irish fella!
