Riassunto

'Nations are as much their own past as what they eat and drink; people are shaped by what has moved their poets to poetry and their musicians to music...'
The Gems She Wore is an enchanting personal journey through Ireland's past by one of her greatest contemporary writers. Visiting the Irish places he knows and loves best, James Plunkett writes of some of the great characters and folk heroes - from Emmett and Connolly to Joyce. O'Casey and Yeats - who have influenced him and who have shaped their island's history.
Written with the warmth and charm that have made James Plunketts novels universally popular The Gems She Wore is a moving evocation of Ireland's unique character.
'A pleasant, leisurely book, true and intelligent! William Trevor', The Guardian
