The Road to Nowhere by Maurice Walsh

Enchanting glamorous romance, Gaelic to the core, high adventure, sheer charm. If the taste of the public for books in the heritage of Hangman's House, of The Beloved Vagabond, and of Walsh's own inimitable The Small Dark Man has not waned, here is the best thing of the kind that has come our way for more time than we care to count. It's a present day story, told with the lilt and swing of the Irish and with gusto and joy in living. And Rogan Stuart is a hero made to order for those who like them relentless in hate and love.--Kirkus
