My Father Left Me Ireland: An American Son's Search for Home by Michael Brendan Dougherty

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

The writing is beautiful and the exploration of Irish culture, history, and language has made me really want to learn more. At a time when it feels really complicated to have a nationalistic sense of identity, seeing how he related to the history of Ireland and how that informs his worldview was a really interesting journey to take.
