I have never been to Ireland, but I do know it has had a very turbulent and harrowed history. And I feel this is portrayed in the writings of its authors - stark and realist, yet gentle and compassionate writing. I adore Irish writers!
I know that 5 of my 16 great, great, grandparents were born in Ireland (2 in County Clare, and one each in Counties Kerry, Cork, and Dublin. I also know that I've never beene to Ireland and want to go very much. That visit is very high on my "Bucket List." I really like author Andrew M. Greeley and have read many, many of his books. I especially like the Nuala McGrail series:
