Tour | Jean Grainger
10 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Every week, Conor O'Shea collects a new group of American visitors from Shannon Airport, from where they embark on a high end tour of the Real Ireland. But this particular tour, with its cast of unintentionally hilarious characters, presents even seasoned tour guide Conor with dilemmas that render him speechless for the first time in his life. Among this eclectic group are Corlene, a gold digging multiple divorcee on the prowl; Patrick, a love starved Boston cop; Dylan, a goth uilleann piper; Dorothy a poisonous college professor who wouldn't spend Christmas; Elliot, a wall street shark who finally shows his true colours. Then there's Ellen, back on Irish soil after so many years after so many years, to discover a truth no-one could ever have guessed at, least of all herself. And that's just a few of the colourful cast. The locals they meet on their journey, - West Brits, passionate musicians, Ukrainian waitresses and Garda high flyers all help to make this a tour no-one will ever forget. And of course, there's Conor O'Shea in the thick of it all, solving problems and mending hearts, but what about his own?

I started reading this book because I thought it would be very descriptive about the sights and sounds of Ireland. In the end, it was really about strong characters that happened to be touring in Ireland and very little about the actual sites. I was prepared to be disappointed halfway through the book. Then, I finished reading the book while I was in Ireland and must admit that I enjoyed it very much.

Sitting in Dublin Airport waiting to board my plane to head home. It was a lovely trip and I am looking forward to returning as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will finish reading this book and others to get my Irish fix.

While at a pub in Dublin, the bartender and I were talking and I made a comment about teaching me to pour a Guinness. Before I knew it, I was being taught how to pour 2 "nearly perfect" Guinness beers. I love this city and the country! BTW, I really enjoying this book, too.
