Book excerpt: Connemara and the wildness of the Irish coast came to mean so much to Annie and Noel Quinn. For just as the Atlantic Ocean had over time carved deep wounds into that coastline, life had dealt Annie and Noel some profound losses-a traumatic childhood accident and lengthy hospitalization, the death of a spouse, and a divorce after thirty years of marriage, before they magically met at the Connemara Coast Hotel. Just as those oceanic wounds resulted in the beauty of the inlets, bays, and harbors of the Connemara Coast, Annie and Noel were open to healing, to experiencing joy, and they found an abiding beauty in their friendship, and, later, in their love. Annie and Noel lived the sentiment of "Enjoy the Moments" each and every day of their time together. As "A Moment in Connemara-An Irish Love Story" shows, love can transcend even the harshest of the realities we face in life and bring us Joy in the Moments.

She's in the midst of preparations when heiress Veronica O'Farrell bursts in to announce she’s ready for some renewal of her own. To celebrate one year of sobriety, she’s invited seven people she wronged in her drinking days to historic Ballynahinch Castle Hotel in neighboring Connemara to make amends in style. But perhaps one among them is not so eager to pardon her past misdeeds. Veronica is found lying in the ruins of manor house Clifden Castle with an antique Tara Brooch buried in her heart—the same brooch Tara Meehan admired in her shop the day before, posting a photo with the caption: #Killerbrooch. Now she’s a prime suspect, along with Veronica’s guests, all of whom had motives to stab the heiress. It’s up to Tara to pin down the guilty party . . .
Download or read book Connemara written by Tim Robinson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2007-06-19 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume in Tim Robinson's phenomenal Connemara Trilogy - which Robert Macfarlane has called 'One of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English'. In its landscape, history and folklore, Connemara is a singular region: ill-defined geographically, and yet unmistakably a place apart from the rest of Ireland. Tim Robinson, who established himself as Ireland's most brilliant living non-fiction writer with the two-volume Stones of Aran, moved from Aran to Connemara nearly twenty years ago. This book is the result of his extraordinary engagement with the mountains, bogs and shorelines of the region, and with its folklore and its often terrible history: a work as beautiful and surprising as the place it attempts to describe. Chosen as a book of the year by Iain Sinclair, Robert Macfarlane and Colm Tóibín 'One of the greatest writers of lands ... No one has disentangled the tales the stones of Ireland have to tell so deftly and retold them so beautifully' Fintan O'Toole 'Dazzling ... an indubitable classic' Giles Foden, Condé Nast Traveller 'He is that rarest of phenomena, a scientist and an artist, and his method is to combine scientific rigour with artistic reverie in a seamless blend that both informs and delights' John Banville 'One of contemporary Ireland's finest literary stylists' Joseph O'Connor, Guardian

Ann wrote her very first book ‘Honeylove the Bearcub’ by the time she was seven, and by nine she had a story published in a magazine. Ann attended Gothenburg University to study Classical Architecture and Drama, before moving to London to study theatre and drama. In 1982, Ann moved to Connemara on the west coast of Ireland to focus on her writing, where she still lives today along with her husband. The area is well-known for its’ ponies, and the creatures became part of Ann’s daily life, influencing her writing.

Charley Gibson, a young CIA agent, is sent there to try and find how, and by whom, the IRA are smuggling explosives into Northern Ireland. It is suspected that an American girl is involved in bringing financial support. Therefore the involvement of our Central Intelligence. The book opens introducing us to a group of IRA members as they plan the transfer of bomb material from a Libyan freighter off the coast of Connemara. they are Wolfe Morrison, his wife Sheila, her brother Sean and the leader, Ben. Wolfe is an idealist, committed to the dream of freedom, and Sheila is undyingly loyal to him and to the cause. Sean is a young man twisted by hate and Ben is a fierce and desperate veteran of the Irish struggles. It develops that their plan involves not only the smuggling, but the kidnapping of the Queen while she is making a secret visit with her husband to an isolated fishing lodge deep in Connemara. Their plan is to send one of their members, Kevin, to go with the American fiel, Bettina, as tourists taking a horseback trek across the mountains from Clifden on the west to Galway and then into the North. While under this cover, they will pick up the stuff and carry it over to Galway, seemingly two tourists taking the trek for recreation.
Download or read book Connemara written by Tim Robinson and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in Tim Robinson's phenomenal Connemara Trilogy - which Robert Macfarlane has called 'One of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English'. The first volume of Tim Robinson's Connemara trilogy, Listening to the Wind, covered Robinson's home territory of Roundstone and environs. The Last Pool of Darkness moves into wilder territory: the fjords, cliffs, hills and islands of north-west Connemara, a place that Wittgenstein, who lived on his own in a cottage there for a time, called 'the last pool of darkness in Europe'. Again combining his polymathic knowledge of Connemara's natural history, human history, folklore and topography with his own unsurpassable artistry as a writer, Tim Robinson has produced another classic. A native of Yorkshire, Tim Robinson moved to the Aran Islands in 1972. His books include the celebrated two-volume Stones of Aran. Since 1984 he has lived in Roundstone, Connemara. 'A masterpiece of travel and topographical writing and a miraculous, vivid and engrossing meditation on landscape and history and the sacred mood of places' Colm Tóibín, Irish Times
