"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 Todaybestselling 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
