'....reading Connemara Mollie was a real treat..... The book is testament to the wonderful journey she enjoyed, bonding with her horse and reliving the people she met and the adventures she enjoyed. It's a lovely, light and easy going book, which will get you booking the riding lessons, the minute you put it down!' Burnley Express 'Hilary Bradt recalls her journey across rural Ireland among the people of Galway, Mayo, Clare and Kerry in the 1980s in this sweet - and surreptitiously affecting - memoir.' Longitude Books USA 'Hilary's descriptions take us with her every hoofprint of the way as she brings the landscapes to life. She's good on people too, with life in rural Ireland prior to the "Celtic Tiger" boom.' Wanderlust 'With adventure, characters, and lessons learned the hard way, Connemara Mollie has many of the elements of the writer's beloved pony books - but this true-life adventure has a charm all of its own.' The Connemara Journal 'Hilary brings the real Ireland to life and you can't fail to get attached to the equine character.' Horse magazine
