About the Book

From the pen of acclaimed Irish author, Brian O'Raleigh, comes an engrossing new mystery that will have you turning the pages no matter what time of night it is! As Frank O'Shea, Literary critic - Australian Irish Echo put it: "O'Raleigh's book: 'The Storyteller of Inis Mór', is very much in the tradition of Irish storytelling with strong, vibrant prose that reminds of the great Irish writers such as Sean O'Faolain and Benedict Kiely." As the book opens, 38-year-old Conner O'Rourke is in trouble. His advertising agency in Australia is going broke, the bank is foreclosing on his mortgage and he's hearing poetic voices in his mind urging him to return to Inis Mór. His grandmother, whom he hasn't seen in years, has contacted him saying she's critically ill and must speak with him, but when he arrives on Inis Mór, a wild, windswept, little island some 30 miles off the West Coast of Ireland, she has already passed, leaving him a cottage and a dilapidated sailing boat. A mysterious old seaman appears and offers to help him rebuild the boat and, as they work together, the old man tells Conner stories of Ireland. Stories of courage, adventure and passion. Stories that have the power to change Conner's life forever, if he can only understand their meaning. If you're looking for a 'Hypnotic psychological suspense story' that will have you burning the midnight oil, don't miss: 'The Storyteller of Inis Mór'. A riveting story of passion, loss and redemption told by a masterful Irish Seanachie (Storyteller) 5 Star Review by Fionnuala Smyth. January, 2016 Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I'm from an Irish family of story tellers so I approached this book with great interest. I was captivated from the beginning. O'Raleigh tells a deceptively simple story in beautifully descriptive language. There are layers to this story that reveal themselves slowly. In true Irish tradition the real world interacts with the 'other world' and the mystery continues gently throughout the book. O'Raleigh is also a master at delivering excellent dialogue. With my Irish background I have an antenna for fake Irish and you will find none of that in this book. It's a delight. 5 Star Review. A Powerful Story By Kathleen Davis "Louise." Dec. 2016 Not since The Shack have I been so deeply moved by a book. The Storyteller of Inis Mor, by author, Brian O'Raleigh, has acutely identified the world in which we live of broken families and splintered cultures. While the Best Seller List is littered with senseless violence and sex, O'Raleigh reaches to the depths of one's soul with beautiful prose and genuine storytelling. As the main character struggles to find himself and save his family, his story resonates with authenticity and insight lost on so many. This beautifully told story should be required reading for all families to encourage self-appraisal of their values. The real "seanchai" in this book is the author, Brian O'Raleigh, who can proudly walk in the footprints of the great Irish authors. Eilish Frazier December, 2014 Kindle Edition Verified Purchase I rarely write reviews but when I do the author has reached into my soul. The Storyteller of Inis Mór accomplished this and so much more! The main protagonist, Conner, has lost everything and hit rock bottom when he receives a letter from his grandmother who is sick. By the time he arrives on Inis Mór she's already died leaving him a cottage and a dilapidated sailing boat. With the help of a mysterious old seaman he sets out to restore the boat to her former glory. The old man helps Conner discover who he is by regaling him with tales of the old ways. He explains that we each have a gift, a special purpose in life, to not only help ourselves but others. He tells Conner that there is more to life than money and material possessions. While reading these stories within the story, I could hear the Irish lilt in the old man's voice and smell the salt air...
