All the hoopla and hype surrounding St Patricks Day (especially the drinking madness) leaves me cold and wishing for beauty and peace of the mountains of Wicklow.  But this year I also had a furkle about for some wonderful Irish books which I think reflect our culture and heritage.  They are all great reads.

My suggestions and reviews are now up on the writing.ie website and you can read them here.http://www.writing.ie/readers/post-paddys-day-reads/
