520 An irreverent, vibrant, satirical, and largely untrue
history of IrelandIrish history started when people
arrived on the island. At least, that is when history
really got going. Before that things were rather quiet . .
. So begins C.M. Boylan's wonderfully irreverent take on
the history of Ireland. It will take readers from the "Age
of the Third Best Metal" through the struggles of Wolfe
Tone (Ireland's best-named revolutionary) right through
the Celtic Tiger years, when there was pancetta and rubies
for all. And then on to the present day, when there are
fewer rubies. Along the way, this history is not afraid to
ask the hard questions, such as: Why were walls so
important for the Normans? Can you describe and explain
Limerick? Is your mother enjoying the Boom this weather?
This book is a journey in itself, taking its lucky readers
through the long and winding valley of history, and into
the bright ocean of the future, right up to the point
where the history ends.
