Description:
This is not a book about rambling in Ireland. It tells the tale of
one particular walking trip and the memories and musings it inspired. Exploring
the West of Ireland is a time for meditation, spiritual reflection and
strengthening the bonds of life. More practically the ability to read a map
might have proved helpful. The tourist office in Ireland has all their paths
clearly marked. You can’t go wrong if you follow that little yellow man. Or can
you? As British ex-patriate Kerry Dwyer leads Bertrand, her trusting French
husband, astray once more, they reminisce and reflect upon accents and
accidents, family and friends, love and what it means to be alive. Bertrand
doesn’t mind getting lost - he loves Kerry all the more for going off the
beaten track. This is a book about ramblings in Ireland. Walk with Kerry and
Bertrand and follow where your thoughts lead you
My
Thoughts:
‘Ramblings in Ireland’ with
novel about a trip the author took Ireland with her husband. Her mother was
from Ireland and she wanted to take holiday for a long time to explore Ireland.
The novel takes you through their many experiences in Ireland from flying there,
to driving on the narrow streets, to staying at different bed-and-breakfasts
and getting lost on their walks.
It
was a great peek into the lush land of Ireland and since my father's side of
the family is from Ireland and one day I would love to go there, I thought this
was a great book. It was entertaining and insightful. I like how it showed how
different it can be when you visit other countries. It showed how simple word
can change something so greatly. This book really made me want to visit Ireland
even more than I already wanted to and it definitely made me want to do some of
these walks. I also enjoyed that there was quite a bit of humor in the story.
I
really enjoyed this book. It was like I was right there in Ireland with Kerry
and at the very hard thing to accomplish when you're writing a book. It is a
very good book and I would highly recommend it.
