“A lovely writer, far superior to the average memoirist. . . . A curious mind, a perceptive observer with an artist’s eye, a seeker of truth and beauty.” —Irish Independent
From the moment I crossed the mountain, I fell in love with the place, which was more beautiful than any I’d ever seen. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer and wiser than any I’d known before. . . . From the first day I came here I always knew I’d come back.
Sometimes we have to go back to our beginnings to become the person we want to be. More than a decade ago, USA Today–bestselling author Felicity Hayes-McCoy left the hectic pace of London and returned to her home country of Ireland to forge a new life in a remarkable house on the stunning Dingle peninsula. Gorgeously written, this is a life-affirming tale of rediscovering lost values and remembering the things that matter most.
“Wise, funny and touching, this book is a portrait of friendships, customs and folklore of Ireland; but what stays with you is harder to catch, like smoke or running water. It is the taste of something we all once knew, ever-present if only you look for it.” ―Joanna Lumley, actress and author of Absolutely: A Memoir
“The book glowed . . . when I finished reading, I felt a sense of well-being, wonder and delight.” —Alice Taylor, bestselling author of To School Through the Fields
Praise for Felicity Hayes-McCoy
“A pitch-perfect delight.” —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author of Grown Ups on The Transatlantic Book Club
“The spot-on descriptions of Ireland’s country roads and expansive sky all but leap off the page. . . . Maeve Binchy and Patrick Taylor fans will find much to enjoy.” —Booklist on The Library at the Edge of the World
“Sunshine on the page.” —Cathy Kelly, bestselling author of Between Sisters on The Month of Borrowed Dreams
