Around the World in 22 Books
A Secret Map of Ireland by
Rosita Boland
First published in 2005.
This edition by New Island.
In 32 essays, Boland visits all the counties of Ireland bringing back unusual and unique tales from each. From the monkey who crash-landed with an American B-17 Flying Fortress en route from Marrakesh, to the French mausoleum in Monivea; from Europe’s most westerly weather station to the Tayto factory of dreams in Armagh, she quickly realises that every map conceals as much as it reveals.
