Irish Culture, Traditions, and Claddagh Rings

Post by Josephe-Anne »

During the story, many cultural aspects are discussed. On their trip, Hillary and her family visit Claddagh Village. I grew up in an area with a large Irish community, so I learned about the Claddagh ring tradition. Prior to reading this book, did you know about Claddagh rings? What other Irish traditions or cultural aspects did you notice in the book?
