The House on an Irish Hillside: A Memoir

“A lovely writer, far superior to the average memoirist. . . . A curious mind, a perceptive observer with an artist’s eye, a seeker of truth and beauty.” —Irish Independent

From the moment I crossed the mountain, I fell in love with the place, which was more beautiful than any I’d ever seen. And with a way of looking at life that was deeper, richer and wiser than any I’d known before. . . . From the first day I came here I always knew I’d come back.

Sometimes we have to go back to our beginnings to become the person we want to be. More than a decade ago, USA Today–bestselling author Felicity Hayes-McCoy left the hectic pace of London and returned to her home country of Ireland to forge a new life in a remarkable house on the stunning Dingle peninsula. Gorgeously written, this is a life-affirming tale of rediscovering lost values and remembering the things that matter most.

“Wise, funny and touching, this book is a portrait of friendships, customs and folklore of Ireland; but what stays with you is harder to catch, like smoke or running water. It is the taste of something we all once knew, ever-present if only you look for it.” ―Joanna Lumley, actress and author of Absolutely: A Memoir

“The book glowed . . . when I finished reading, I felt a sense of well-being, wonder and delight.” —Alice Taylor, bestselling author of To School Through the Fields
