Booker...
Mr. McCourt (yes, brother of Frank McCourt) has written a wonderful synopsis of Ireland's history. He does this by telling mini biographies of important people throughout the history of Ireland. By reading this line of biographies, the reader develops an understanding of the timeline of events and the impact of these events in Irish history. And McCourt follows Irish tradition by not just informing us about these influential Irish, instead, he tells us the story of their life and times with personal anecdotes included in the story. This was a very fun way to learn the history of Ireland. I highly recommend it!
