Ebook About Kevin O'Hara's journey of self-discovery begins as a mad lark: who in their right mind would try to circle the entire coastline of Ireland on foot—and with a donkey and cart no less?But Kevin had promised his homesick Irish mother that he would explore the whole of the Old Country and bring back the sights and the stories to their home in Massachusetts. Determined to reach his grandmother's village by Christmas Eve, Kevin and his stubborn but endearing donkey, Missie, set off on 1800-mile trek along the entire jagged coast of a divided Ireland. Their rollicking adventure takes them over mountains and dales, through smoky cities and sleepy villages, and into the farmhouses and hearts of Ireland's greatest resource—its people. Along the way, Kevin would meet incredible characters, experience Ireland in all of its glory, and explore not only his Irish past, but find his future self.“One of the finest books about contemporary Ireland ever written...In a style evocative of Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, O'Hara writes memorably of his most unusual way of touring his ancestral home of Ireland.” —Library JournalAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.Book Last of the Donkey Pilgrims: A Man's Journey Through Ireland Review :
I loved this book! It’s a heartwarming and wonderfully told account of Kevin O’Hara’s 1979 walk around Ireland with an unlikely companion, a donkey named Missie. Kevin and Missie are on a quest to circle the entire Irish coastline, some 1800 miles, but their journey is so much more than just the ambitious walk. Self-discovery and true grit are hallmarks of Kevin’s story, as are the warmth, wisdom and generosity of the Irish people. You will smile (maybe cry a little too) as you read Kevin’s rich character profiles of the people he meets, and you will take great pleasure in his gorgeous descriptions of the scenery, the pub and home life, some difficult and dangerous treks up and down mountain passes, and a fair number of long days of inclement weather and/or other physical, mental and financial obstacles to his ultimate success. Kevin and Missie walked right through northern Ireland at a particularly tense time during the “Troubles.” The timing was shortly after the IRA attacked and killed Lord Mountbatten while he was on vacation in County Sligo, and I could feel Kevin’s trepidation. His account of those days on his journey was both moving and unnerving.I’ll sum up my thoughts this way: if you already know and love Ireland, you’ll be planning your next trip after reading this book (I’m doing just that). If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of getting to know Ireland, you will fall in love for sure! Kevin O'Hara who lived in the U.S. had trouble forgetting the time he spent in Vietnam. In 1979, the year he turned 30 years old, he went to his grandmother's home in Ireland. He planned to stay one year and he hoped to have an adventure that would help him forget the worst of the mental pain of being in Vietnam.In a local Irish pub he came up with the idea of taking six months to travel the perimeter of Ireland in a donkey cart. A trip of about 1,700 miles.With expert help Kevin purchased a cart and a donkey and with less than 100 pounds in his pocket he and Missy started their journey.Kevin was a very kind soul and could not bear the thought of beating his donkey to keep the cart moving at an acceptable speed. So, he decided he would make the trip walking next to his donkey and he would never hit her again. He met many generous Irish people who fed him and let him stay on their property no matter how little they had. There were many evenings spent in pubs and a lot of evenings entertaining the families who fed and boarded him with stories of his travels which Kevin felt helped him earn his keep. When Kevin weighed himself at the end of his journey he was surprised to find that he had only lost a few pounds. Despite feeling hungry much of the time along the way he must have been fed plenty to keep his weight up. (And plenty to drink too.)This book was published in 2005 which was 26 years after Mr. O'Hara's journey. It's still a very interesting story and hasn't suffered from the 38 year gap between the journey and my reading it.I think the writing was excellent. What I didn't like was the epilogue supposedly written by the donkey mostly about the donkey. I would have much rather had an epilogue that also included Kevin and how he fared back in the United States after his trip. Hopefully, better than Missy. I hope he has had a good life and that he has kept his wonderful sense of humor and generous spirit.I want to be clear that this book is not always a page turner. It has monotonous moments, but overall it is very entertaining.
