About this listen
One evening in 1951, an itinerant storyteller arrives unannounced at a house in the Irish countryside. In exchange for a bed and a warm meal, he invites his hosts and their neighbors to join him by the wintry fireside and begins to tell formative stories of Ireland's history. Ronan, a nine-year-old boy, grows so entranced by the storytelling that, when the old man leaves abruptly under mysterious circumstances, the boy devotes himself to finding him again.
Ronan's search for the Storyteller becomes both a journey of self-discovery, long unspoken family secrets, and an immersion into the sometimes conflicting histories of his native land.
A sweeping novel of huge ambition, Ireland is the beautifully told story of a remarkable nation. It rings with the truth of a writer passionate about his country and in full command of his craft.

unforgettable
Probably the most enjoyable book I've ever listened to. Full of wit and history though embellished no doubt. I laughed at the phrases and sayings and Irish humour.
Mr.Delaney's oritatìon was superb.

Very Interesting
An informative book. I liked how Ireland's history is woven into the story and the quest the boy is offered to follow.
