Delaney’s writing (and reading, if you listen to the audiobook, which I recommend) is beautifully done in this book. In it, Ireland’s history becomes vivid and living. Delaney tells the country’s tales through the lens of a young man fascinated by these stories, and by telling his story, demonstrates how the cycle continues. I am glad to have read this after visiting Ireland as I could follow the steps of our main character and the histories told by the traveling storyteller.
