Connemara by Tim Robinson
The author, 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.
Many landscape writers have striven to give their prose the characteristics of the terrain they are describingFew have succeeded as fully as Robinson. -- Robert Macfarlane * Guardian *
