Review:

Spell-binding, full of treasures and often extremely moving. --Selina Hastings

A series of beautifully rendered evocations of landscape, people, attitudes, emblems and events. It treats the sweep of a melancholy history with the utmost poise and discernment. --Irish Times

A powerfully evocative mixture of biography and legend, peppered with heart-warming and heart-wrenching anecdotes. --Financial Times
