The Pipes Are Calling: Our Jaunts Through Ireland

I don't think anyone who loves Ireland will be disappointed in this book. It is very well written, moves right along. You get a sincere taste of life in Ireland as it was in the 80's. So much has changed now compared to then. I enjoyed this book so much that I have purchase the next 2 written in sequence to this book. Just about finished with the 3rd (got them out of sequence). The thought of 2 city people uprooting their lives to live in the "wilds" of West Ireland is amazing. It's a wonder they stuck with the country life, considering how primitive it was in the 80's. Just enjoy reading this relaxing enjoyable book. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

I can't say enought for this series of books as loved every one of them.If you are interested in Ireland or just want to read a excellent series I would give an A + for these books.

This book is truly a magnificent piece of writing. Niall Williams and Christine Breen describe their jaunts with their daughter Deirdre so clearly that you are with them in their car as they experience the excitement as they travel the back roads of Ireland -- all of the the sights, smells, sounds and feelings of the different places the travel to, and best of all their life back home in Kiltumper. They fill the book with wonderful homey anecdotes about their travels, life at their farm and with their neighbors. Stories that not only open the door into their lives, but welcome you in with a steaming mug of tea and a hearty slice of Christine's Brown Bread.
