Description

Kevin O’Hara’s journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would attempt to circle all the coastline of Ireland on foot―and with a donkey and cart no less?

But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the entire of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Decided to achieve his grandmother’s village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along all the jagged coast of a divided Ireland.

Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland’s greatest resource―its people.

Along the best way, Kevin would meet implausible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self.

“Some of the finest books about recent Ireland ever written…In a style evocative of Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley, O’Hara writes memorably of his most atypical way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” ―Library Journal
