‘The Storyteller of Inis Mor’ received a great write-up in the Irish Press here in Australia, all the more welcome as Frank O’Shea is renowned as a tough and fearless reviewer!

            The Australian Irish Echo’s Review. January 2015 – “A story such as this is very much in the tradition of Irish storytelling with strong, vibrant prose that reminds of the great Irish writers such as Sean O’Faolain and Benedict Kiely.” Frank O’Shea. Literary critic – Australian Irish Echo.

Amazon 5 Star Review. By Kathleen Davis. “Not since The Shack have I been so deeply moved by a book. The Storyteller of Inis Mor, by author, Brian O’Raleigh, has acutely identified the world in which we live of broken families and splintered cultures. While the Best Seller List is littered with senseless violence and sex, O’Raleigh reaches to the depths of one’s soul with beautiful prose and genuine storytelling. As the main character struggles to find himself and save his family, his story resonates with authenticity and insight lost on so many. This beautifully told story should be required reading for all families to encourage self-appraisal of their values. The real “seanchai” in this book is the author, Brian O’Raleigh, who can proudly walk in the footprints of the great Irish authors.”
