I've not been to Ireland (yet) either, but from what I've read, the author did a fantastic job of portraying the country realistically. I agree that her descriptions moved the book from being mere fiction into a far more real experience. Thanks to you all for stopping in and sharing your thoughts with us!

I found her descriptions of the land and places within it to be quite accurate (from what I've read) and immersive as well. I've always wanted to visit Ireland but reading this definitely intensified that desire.

I did, however, felt fully immersed in all things Irish and now have this unquenched thirst to both learn more about it and travel is.
