A powerful, rich, and funny book about a young man's childhood on the Great Blasket island off the west coast of Ireland. I enjoy visualizing the magical scenery where his stories are set. His humor is so understated that it sometimes takes a second read to catch it -- his wit is dry, but his characters are real, true, and human -- probably because they are the real people with whom he grew up on the island. The Blaskets are abandoned now, and have become a nature preserve. This is a wonderful way to connect with a past vibrant culture.

similar to first got a little wordy- but a good read
