A great read! Faha, the fictional village in which the story takes place, feels like an Irish version of Wendell Berry’s Port William. Niall writes with similar wit and wisdom to Berry, too. If you enjoy books that can make you laugh and grow teary-eyed within a single paragraph, you’ll like this one.

By all means, listen to this book on audio - the library or Libro.fm. It's an Irish love of life story best heard by an Irish speaker.
