Carolan’s Farewell

 


Canadian author living in Peterborough, educated in Dublin. Award winning. Tells of a wandering blind minstrel harpist and his guide promoter and best friend Owen. The villages and cottages they visit. The liquor. The horses they love.The women flirtatious. The men who rule each roost. The craziness imposed by English overlords. The songs presented and the circumstances of each piece’s composing. Reads like a series of poetic scenes.
