What I didn’t know back then, is that Delaney was holding back. He was saving the big punches for his newest book,the final in the Ben McCarthy trilogy, The Last Storyteller. This novel, like Ireland, is everything an Irish novel should be. It’s funny at times, tragic at times and always a tiny bit epic (can something be a tiny bit epic?). It is full of the Irish legends and folktales that were so noticeably lacking in the last book.uhttp://45things.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-37981699893043622732010-04-11T18:05:58.308-07:002010-04-11T18:05:58.308-07:00"Venetia" is on my to-be-read shelf.
