Reviewing Frank Delaney is a little like trying to review Shakespeare; who am I to do such a thing? Yet because he is not as well known as the Bard (here in the US, anyway), I want to go ahead and try to do him justice.Some five star novels are adrenaline pumping page-turners. Though this story builds and is hard to put down once it is well established, I would not put it in that category. It is instead a supremely sumptuous story, in the same category (for detail, but not the same genre) as The Hobbit. It is painterly writing that encompasses three stories in one. One story is that of the storyteller; another is that of his young listener; and the third is of Ireland. All three are braided together in a manner that is extraordinary, elegant, and compelling.I have read thousands of novels, but this is unquestionably one of the very best.This is a writer I will follow anywhere. If he writes it, I will read it.
My wife and I just returned from a wonderful visit to the Emerald Isle. What a wonderful 2 weeks! Reading this wonderful book, both before and after our visit, was monumentally useful for us. In the magnificent flow of the storyteller, Frank Delaney takes you on a magical trip through both fact and fiction in this novel come alive. I found that my understanding of what I experienced was so much enhanced using the book as a sort of accompaniment piece. I encourage you to read it for the simple pleasure of doing so, but also as an enticement to visit the country if you've not already done so; or as a wonderful refreshing of your memories if you have.
Ronan O’Mara is a nine-year old boy who lives in rural Ireland with his mother, father, and aunt. The year is 1951. One day, a mysterious stranger – an older man – appears at the doorstep. Who is he? We don’t know. We know his visit is expected. Neighbors come over, and the stranger tells the family and their neighbors a story. Several stories actually. It seems this is the gift of the stranger. A storyteller. Ronan wishes the man could stay forever, but his impatient mother feels he’s outstayed his welcome after a few days, and the stranger leaves. There’s something about this man that has touched Ronan’s soul though, and Ronan can’t rest easy with the stranger no longer in his life. So Ronan begins a twelve year quest to find the stranger.Now, before I go further, let’s go back to the stories that the old man told Ronan and company. These stories are quite a pleasant diversion from our “main†story. The stories that the stranger tells are about the people’s homeland and history -the history of Ireland. True, there’s a lot of myth, fable, and tradition within these yarns, but the storyteller knows how to enrapture an audience. It doesn’t surprise us in the least that Ronan can’t rest until he finds out where the man is after he leaves. At the very least, it would be nice to find out who he is.Reading this wonderful novel allows you to suspend any sort of disbelief you may have. Is it really common to invite a complete stranger into your house for a week simply because he can tell stories? Is this man even real? Or is he a figment of young Ronan’s imagination? Does the existence of this character serve only to aid Ronan discover his destiny? Good stories really are rare, and Frank Delaney simply entertains us to the point that we simply don’t want to add too much logic within the pages we’re reading. These stories of Ireland that are juxtaposed through the pages are simply wonderful tales, and many times altogether too brief.As Ronan embarks on his journey, he seems to be forever one or two steps behind the storyteller. But this doesn’t stop Ronan from hearing more of the stranger’s stories. Wherever Ronan goes, it seems he’s allowed to hear more stories from the stranger in many different forms. Sometimes, he hears the stories secondhand. Other times, the story teller leaves Ronan written tales that the storyteller composed for him to enjoy. It seems the stranger knows Ronan might be searching for him.What makes this novel more pleasurable as that we also get to know Ronan and his family quite well. Had these extra tales not been thrown into the main storyline, this still would have been a terrific book. Ronan, like all of us, has his own life to live, and as the story progresses, we learn more about his own personal history and the events that shape his character. So maybe a great way to describe this book is “several wonderful stories told within a storyâ€.Although this book takes place in Ireland and all of the stories are about Ireland’s history, the overall feel is quite light. This isn’t a densely packed James Michener type of book. I feel that had author Frank Delaney wanted to write such a book, he could have easily done so, however. But overall, this book is rather light on the historical narratives of the country. The main objective here is Ronan, and his quest to find his calling.I loved this book. As someone who reads quite a bit of fiction, I never take great writing for granted. The story is the point of a good book, but more important is how the author tells the story. How else could John Grisham become so popular? On the surface, dozens of books about the law profession don’t sound very exciting, but Grisham is a great storyteller.And so is Frank Delaney. After reading this book (Summer 2018) I was sad to discover that Mr. Delaney passed away about a year ago. Fortunately, he has several other books that he penned (all seem to be somewhat related to Ireland), and I’m eagerly looking forward to reading more by this author.
Long before books became readily available, traveling story tellers went from town to town, telling stories of great battles, famous and infamous rulers and little tidbits of information that enthralled audiences. Even after printing evolved, victors were most often the “scribes†that recounted important historical events; many of them openly biased. In some environs, the story teller continued setting records straight and bringing dry history to life with colorful language and exciting depictions of events. Such is the story of this novel. A young boy becomes a fanatic history buff after listening to one such story teller and spends much of his youth searching for the gifted narrator. The story teller is elusive, yet feeds the young man’s interest by leaving him some of his stories at locations where the younger man was sure to follow, so as he seeks the teller, he is rewarded with more stories. This is a masterful blend of historical events and fictional characters well worth the time spent.
IRELAND, the country and place of my ancestry is and always has been a mystery to me. IRELAND, the novel turned that mystery into magic and deepened my love of the country, our people, their will and strength, wit and power and their beautiful, unique perspective on the world. I laughed and I was saddened, I learned and re-learned. But most of all I fell in love.
I was fortunate to be able to take a trip to Ireland this February and absolutely fell in love with the country and the people. Since then I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about the country and found this charming book. Mr. Delaney is an incredible writer and he weaves the history of Ireland with 1960s Cork using the vehicle of the last Storyteller, even managing to toss in a mystery. I'm half Irish so I was predisposed to like the book, but still. It's one of the best books I've ever read and I highly recommend it.
