Frank Delaney læser fra Tipperary.

"Frank Delaney, the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Ireland, will read from and sign the new paperback edition of his novel Tipperary ($15.00 Random House). In this gloriously absorbing and utterly satisfying novel, a man's passion for the woman he loves is twinned with his country's emergence as a nation. With storytelling as sweeping and dramatic as the land itself, myth, fact, and fiction are all woven together with the power of the great nineteenth-century novelists. Tipperary once again proves Delaney's unrivaled mastery at bringing Irish history to life." (jpmoore)… (mere)
