Synopsis
Martin Fletcher presents a portrait of a Northern Ireland of lakes, rivers, and mountains, where customs, traditions, and old-world charm survive. He reveals an incredibly resourceful province which has given the world not just bombs and bullets, but the tyre and the tractor, a dozen American presidents, two Prime Ministers of New Zealand, and a Hindu god.

Reviews
Northern Ireland is not your typical travel destination, but it does have a lot to offer, as the author of this amiable book points out. Newspaper reporter Fletcher (Almost Heaven: Travels Through the Backwoods of America) spent two years traveling around the country and getting a feel for its land and people. What he discovered right away was that almost all of the people he met, even the extremists, were friendly, honest, and talkative. This gave him (and he in turn gives readers) some insight into the politics and everyday life of Northern Ireland. This is a compelling portrayal of the gorgeous landscape, the sad history, and the warm and enduring people of the country. Fletcher's writing is straightforward and laden with fascinating facts about the cities and sites that he visited and thoroughly researched. Recommended for all travel collections.
