<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Ireland Unhinged: Encounters with a Wildly Changing Country </i>looks back at the changes that the economic boon wreaked on the Irish countryside, and what the future holds for the country. Connecticut-born David Monagan explores his adopted country through the eyes of a passionate transplant. "What is Ireland? Has it lost its soul?" Monagan keeps asking as he roams from Cork to Dublin, Donegal, and Belfast. His answers are loving, searing, and often laugh-out-loud funny.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I loved "Ireland Unhinged" so much I almost ate it. It's hilarious. It's sad. It's loving. David Monagan vividly reveals how slugs destroyed his garden, how crooked bankers and corrupt politicians destroyed Ireland's economy and reduced the Celtic Tiger to a throw rug, and how spirituality fled in the face of rampant materialism. You don't have to be Irish to dive into this grand book." --Malachy McCourt, author of "A Monk Swimming"<BR><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>David Monagan</b> is the author <i>Journey into the Heart</i> and <i>Jaywalking with the Irish</i>, which Frank McCourt praised as a hard, beautiful book about Ireland.
