Description
If A Midsummer Night’s Dream took place in Ireland and the couples were replaced by two past middle-aged men, three teenage redheads who want to be witches and an archaeologist, then that’s what this book is like. It is a madcap romp across time, myth, and the Irish countryside as legends come to life and the time-space continuum ruptures for a while.
The Girl in the Bog book is a delight from start to finish. It starts as one thing but flawlessly transitions to something else and ends up in a surprisingly different place altogether. When sheep farmer Michael Mullaney and his friend, Tom Burke, discover and exhume a body they find in a bog, the ancient world meets the modern in surprising and life-altering ways. After a night spent ranging across the countryside, meeting all manner of specters and heroes, life will be forever changed for those left when the sun rises.
Keith Donohue creates an astounding world, carrying the reader along with him on this crazy night’s adventure. No book out there is quite like this one.
