Klondike House - Memories of an Irish Country Childhood by John Dwyer
4.0
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed this book immensely.
As I read the book, images of farmlife just flooded my mind and reminded me of the stories of my father's youth and the holidays I spent in Austria with my grandparents there.
I may have an evil touch in me as I cackled at the humorous (but possibly dangerous?) tale of The Beast and that of the Strawberry Cow.
Christmas in such a faraway land sounded similar to my christmasses as a child (except for the snow and the turkey story).
This book has effectively given me the "country" bug... I want to go visit my family in countryside Austria now!
