No News at Throat Lake

A must read for Lawrence Donegan fans. He immerses himself in the culture of Donegal, by working for the local publication, The Tir Conaill Tribune, joining the G.A.A. club and even having a go, at a bit of farming. A typical humour spattered adventure from the Scotsman's pen ensues, before The Guardian lure him away, and his Irish odyssey ends.

Great read with insights into life in the west in Ireland. Peppered with good laughs all the way through.

Many people think of escaping stressful lives, leaving the city and making a new life in the countryside. Lawrence doesn't disappear to sunny climes such as Driving over lemons in Provence but instead tries to make it in rainy old Donegal. He tells his story in a humorous down to earth way, that has the ring of truth about it (though he is a journalist so you do wonder). He is a talented guy who has a knack for making friends (it appears), and has the skills necessary to start a new life from scratch. The book has valuable lessons for anyone planning a similar adventure.

Lovely book based on the town where my mum was born in Donegal.

Condition of book was good and I was surprised to find it was signed by the author.

Book arrived in great quality, and is a fascinating read on the 'quirks' shall we say of rural Donegal, this coming from a guy who has spent many summers in this beautiful part of the world! Really recommend!

An oh so true of rural life

A fine book
