’A good read even for those who have not the least ancestral or national bias—for those who desire civilized entertainment along with brilliant narrative.’ —Seattle Times
In thirty-five years and dozens of return trips to Ireland, Thomas Lynch has found a template for the larger world inside the small one, the planet in the local parish. Part memoir, part cultural study, Booking Passage is a brilliant, often comedic guidebook for those 'fellow travelers, fellow pilgrims’ making their way through the complexities of their own lives and times.
