My colleague, Julie, just returned from a pilgrimage to Ireland and is wearing a great deal of green. This morning she sent out one of her vintage book recommendations, and I know what I'll be reading next month after I finish The Starcatcher Trilogy by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
Julie says, "I have just finished reading a book that I wanted to share with you all. If you have not read Frank Delaney’s Ireland: A Novel, you will find it very interesting. The story is about a young Irish boy who encounters a storyteller and is mesmerized by him. The aging storyteller moves on, but Ronan makes it his mission to find the old man and learn the art of storytelling. The chapters alternate between Ronan’s search for the storyteller and the stories the old man tells about the history of Ireland. The chapter where Ronan describes the storyteller’s method of enchanting his audience is one of the most beautiful things I have read!"
