Product Information
Jill Blee's second novel is at once a travel story and an historical novel set in modern Ireland, where Jill's first visit to her ancestral homeland is hijacked by the very real presence of her long-dead great aunt, Brigid. While Jill intends to acquaint herself with the country, the people and the history from which her great-grandparents had migrated, Aunt Brigid single-mindedly steers her back to the wind swept cliffs of County Clare, and the high Burren above the village of Ballyvaghan. Brigid has some unfinished business which quickly becomes Jill's main quest, through which she is brought into a much deeper experience of the great famine than her history books could ever give her. As she follows her aunt's story on the west coast and back to Dublin, Jill's own travel story, complete with Lonely Planet Guide, Irish pubs and Norman ruins, is told with an intense imagery which presents Ireland in her beauty and her romance as clearly as could any cinematographer. Jill Blee is first and foremost an historian, but one who uses fiction to illuminate the past. What Brigid does best is to cast light on what the experience of the famine in a small community, Ballyvaghan, meant in emotional terms for those experiencing it. This is a compassionate novel, well-researched, a compelling read if one has an interest in what is quite recent history, a history which threatens to repeat itself in the modern world.

- i***e (151)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoA* service from this company was a bit sceptical from some of the reviews but this was the best experience I’ve had buying from a company on eBay. My order wasn’t dispatched on time so I messaged them and they replied quickly and helped asap and let me know what was happening my order and it came 2 days later, item is as described and in perfect condition will defiantly be buying from them again, thank you so much for my lovely purchase 🤩
- 3***l (54)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe packaging for this item was the standard cardboard mail wrapper for a large book, so somewhat oversized, and it was left open; unsealed - see photos. However, it nevertheless arrived safely and in good condition, within the timeframe notified, and is a very satisfactory purchase. I have brought from this seller before and have found them to offer good value for money.
- b***5 (274)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoExcellent book, well packaged and arrived in pristine condition. Lots of amazing, detailed recipes and pictures. Well worth the money. No dispatch details updated or communication email received so I wasn’t aware when it had been posted, however did arrive in a reasonable amount of time. Would certainly buy from this seller again.
