Motherfocloir by Darach Saghdha
A humorous investigation of the Irish language.
A completely fresh take on the Irish language * Irish Examiner *
Full of familiarity, of nostalgia, of humour and warmthThe author's voice really brings the book and the language to life - he somehow manages to remove all the boring aspects, and replaces them in with rich stories, with quirks, with colour and poignancy... I'll be recommending it heartily' -- Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither and A Line Made By Walking
Ó Séaghdha picked an opportune time for his grá for Gaeilge to flower among a receptive readership * Irish Examiner *
A fun book on a great subject * Sunday Business Post *
It's thought-provoking, irreverent and often laugh-out-loud hilarious * Irish Independent *
A lot of fun if you're a bit of a nerd for etymology. It sneakily teaches you Irish in a big-hearted way * Irish Independent, Books of the Year *
It takes an irreverent, pun friendly and contemporary approach to the Irish language and it's a book for all lovers of the quirks of the Irish language * Tullamore Tribune *
