The Ghost Upon Your Path

£7.99

Ever since first visiting Ireland twenty years ago, John McCarthy has felt a strong affinity with its people and the landscape, but despite his roots has never considered himself remotely Irish. He now returns to a much-changed country and discovers his heritage is still alive and thriving. With sections on politics, religion, literature, language and music, McCarthy presents an unsentimentalised account of the people and places he encounters, while tackling some of the ghosts in his own life.
