À propos de cet audio

From a land famous for storytelling comes an epic novel of Ireland that captures the intimate, passionate texture of the Irish spirit.

One evening in 1951, an itinerant storyteller arrives unannounced at a house in the Irish countryside. In exchange for a bed and a warm meal, he invites his hosts and their neighbors to join him by the wintry fireside, and begins to tell formative stories of Ireland's history. Ronan, a nine-year-old boy, grows so entranced by the storytelling that, when the old man leaves abruptly under mysterious circumstances, the boy devotes himself to finding him again.

Ronan's search for the Storyteller becomes both a journey of self-discovery, long unspoken family secrets, and an immersion into the sometimes conflicting histories of his native land.

A sweeping novel of huge ambition, Ireland is the beautifully told story of a remarkable nation. It rings with the truth of a writer passionate about his country and in full command of his craft.

Probably the most enjoyable book I've ever listened to. Full of wit and history though embellished no doubt. I laughed at the phrases and sayings and Irish humour.
Mr.Delaney's oritatìon was superb.

I ultimately loved the story. There were beautifully told segments but in fairness some of the stories were long and drawn out. Worth the time investment.

I disliked that the book was not arranged in chapters which made it difficult to navigate if I needed to go back. I would recommend this book, it takes some effort to get through but worth sticking with it in the end.

Great story but it required patience to get through
