The Tour
The Tour: Large Print Edition | Jean Grainger
10 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Take a tour you'll never forget as you navigate the stunning vistas of gorgeous Ireland along with the hearts and minds of a cast of characters who will live with you, long after you've finished the last page. During a routine tour of Ireland, tour guide Conor O'Shea finds himself on a journey of his own through the lives of his hilarious companions as together they navigate both the Irish countryside and the secrets of their individual lives. A Wall Street banker, a divorcee, a musician, a cop, and a professor all enter Ireland with something on their minds, and throughout their journey with Conor as their guide, they each begin to show something of themselves against the spectacular backdrop of Ireland. As colourful and turbulent as an Irish hillside, The Tour offers more than just a look at one of the world's most beautiful places, but contrasts Ireland's open skyways and idyllic views against the secret lives of the individual. Witty, informative, and with a touch of romance, The Tour offers a unique look at the lives of others as they travel the Emerald Isle

I started reading this book because I thought it would be very descriptive about the sights and sounds of Ireland. In the end, it was really about strong characters that happened to be touring in Ireland and very little about the actual sites. I was prepared to be disappointed halfway through the book. Then, I finished reading the book while I was in Ireland and must admit that I enjoyed it very much.

Sitting in Dublin Airport waiting to board my plane to head home. It was a lovely trip and I am looking forward to returning as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will finish reading this book and others to get my Irish fix.

While at a pub in Dublin, the bartender and I were talking and I made a comment about teaching me to pour a Guinness. Before I knew it, I was being taught how to pour 2 "nearly perfect" Guinness beers. I love this city and the country! BTW, I really enjoying this book, too.
