"The Mountain of the Women" by Liam Clancy

I just finished #reading this #book: #TheMountainOfTheWomen by #LiamClancy
This was an excellent read, telling many of the stories of #TheClancyBrothersAndTommyMakem as well as what it was like to move from rural #Ireland to New York City in the 50s. ☘️

Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain'
