    It took me back to Ireland's Hill and Valleys
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 12, 2021*

I loved this book.  She captures the essence of Irish society and put into words things I couldn't get my finger on when I lived them.  It made me want to go back to Ireland and explore the back road and spend more time there. I was fortunate enough to live there a decade or so ago and it was life changing. It makes me thinkg an extended stay over a summer to get the feel of daily life again is the right idea.

    The  book is splendid!
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2014*

Neilli Muiris is my Mother's  first cousin; their Mothers were sisters. "Lis" was my Mother's niece, daughter of my Mother's sister, Mary (Hoare) Moriarty, whose daughter Treasa married Maurice Leahy from Cuas; their son, Father Breandan Leahy was consecrated and installed on 14 April 2013 as the new Bishop of Limerick, Ireland. My  Mother, Elizabeth (Hoare) Kennedy spent her holidays with  "Lis" and her husband "Con" O'Sullivan in Tig Neilli Muiris; I often visited there when Neilli and Paddy lived there: Mother and I often visited Neilli in St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Dingle, when Neilli first went to hospital and just before she died.I have written to Felicity Hayes-McCoy at Tig Neilli Muiris and enclosed photocopies of photos I snapped on my many visits to Dingle,  Ballyvoheen, Ballyferriter, and to Gortadoo, where I spent the summer of 1951, with my aunt and uncle,  Mary and Denis Moriarty.  I sailed on the "Georgic"  (Cunard Line) to and from Cobh and New York, upon my graduation from Cathedral High School in Springfield, Massachusetts, where I  grew up  in an Irish-speaking home!  Upon returning from that ocean voyage, I entered the Seminary to begin my studies for the Priesthood. I was in constant correspondence  with Neilli Muiris and with my Aunt Mary Hoare Moriarty.  The book "The House on an Irish Hillside"  brings back so many wonderful memories. I am 80 years "young" now  and retired from active priestly ministry.  I hope, God willing, to fly to Ireland next summer (2015) with a Priest-friend  and  take him to see "Tig Neilli Muiris" and, hopefully, to meet Felicity Hayes-McCoy.  Father Ed Kennedy

    Irish Country Life
  

*by A***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2016*

This book describes the author’s gradual transition from London city to Irish country living as she and her husband find and remodel a traditional house in a wild and remote part of Ireland that echoes the past and enfolds memories, myths and old stories of people, places and events into everyday life.  As the couple work on making their additional house meet their present needs, they become friends with their neighbors and develop new skills while creating a balance between work and play, the past and the present.  Over the years both the author and her husband create a more satisfying life as they develop a deeper, richer relationship with a very specific place and community.  This is a gentle, careful, and unassuming account of finding a simple, unique and fulfilling lifestyle that is its own reward.The author writes beautifully, crafting several prose passages that are to be savored if not committed to memory.  Her descriptions of landscape and place are fresh and evocative.  Her knowledge of Celtic history, myth and folklore is extensive and artfully woven through her experience.  This is a lovely book.
