- Summary
- Examines the wide variety of Irish styles, Irish homes, and Irish personalities. Here are cottages and castles, town houses and retreats. A house may look across a lough to a patchwork of fields or may sit on a clifftop swept bare by Atlantic winds - but one thing is consistent: all these houses express a distinctly Irish sensibility. And whether filled with exquisitely restored plasterwork, incredible "Gothick" ceilings, collections of dolls, or "museums" of curiosities collected over the years, they speak as eloquently about Ireland and their owners' personalities as did Joyce and Yeats when giving voice to their country and their countrymen.
