4.5/5⭐ I picked this up before going to Ireland & am so glad I did. It lent a breadth & scope to a portion of my trip that would have lacked otherwise. You can tell the author highly respects the history of the area & people he writes about

Today the curtain rises on my adult #histfict debut: THE PLAYERS ACT 1: ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE.
