Galloping Green: From Dear Distant Damp Dublin

Rating:
Summary: Great storyteller!
Review: Great storyteller! You will want to meet this engaging Irish lassie named Marita. You can in this witty, intelligently written book whether it is on some walk with her and her ancestors in Ireland or down a whitewater river with her in a canoe in the States. Marita's engaging style takes you on a wonderful trip. She is definitely a "journey person". More than an autobiography. Marita's metamorphosis from her munchkin beginnings in Dear, Distant, Damp, Dublin to a self-assured achieving professional woman in Manhattan is a delight! Her ability to pull together many events of her life in Ireland as well as America, and weave it together with her family history and Irish history makes for good reading. Marita has been able to look at herself and her life and make a place for herself in the cosmos. Enjoy it!

Review: This is a terrific book. A friend told me about it and I am glad to have read it. It is fantastically written and is very captivating. The author paints vivid images of her life- I felt as if I was right there with her, sharing her experiences. It is an inspiring story that I think would be appreciated by a wide variety of people. I would highly recommend it.
