New Book - Klondike House - Memories of an Irish Country Childhood

I'm delighted to announce the release of my new book Klondike House - Memories of an Irish Country Childhood. It's a collections of memories from growing up on a farm in rural Ireland. This book will be FREE for March 15, 16 and 17. Here's the Amazon blurb:

"The eldest of six children, John Dwyer recounts his memories of a rural childhood on the remote but beautiful Beara Peninsula in West Cork, Ireland. Complemented by a series of childhood photographs, his stories are told in vivid and colourful prose.

He describes the hard but happy work of saving the hay, cutting the turf, shearing the sheep, and digging the potatoes. His humour comes to the fore as he describes a rampaging sheep and an innocent hobby nearly caused a local outcry. His account of his own family connections with America and especially Butte, Montana are a microcosm of all Irish-American stories of immigration.

Sprinkled with a selection of fitting works by some of Ireland's best-known poets such as Seamus Heaney, Patrick Kavanagh and Paul Muldoon, this gem of a book is a chronicle of the simple but happy life of an Irish farmer boy."

Don't have a Kindle? No problem. You can still read this and millions of other titles with a range of free reading apps from Amazon.
