A review by grimhand
The Islandman by Tomás O'Crohan
4.0
A fine read, being the memoirs of living on Great Blasket Island in the 1800s.
From pg. 244: “I have written minutely of much that we did, for it was my wish that somewhere there should be a memorial of it all, and I have done my best to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the likes of us will never be again. ”
