Inspiration

Judas in Kilkenny is a heart-warming tale written in exquisite prose. The author brought me back to Kilkenny, Ireland through her eloquence and detailed descriptions. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read and loves a good tale. My lord, what a great read!

Passion without pity: Move over for Theresa Lennon-Blunt

What a great book! I loved every single word because it is obvious that Theresa wrote this memoir with great affection and love -- it shows in every word and phrase. More importantly I learned something from this book -- that life can be cruel, but one can move past the ugly things that life can throw at you and forgive before it's too late. The people of Kilkenny should be darn proud -- it is easy to see that the author has great affection for her home town even though times were hard for her during the depression. Good work, what a brilliant first book that every one can enjoy and may be benefit from.Bravo!!

Kilkenny Magic

I am avid reader of all things Irish and reading "Judas in Kilkenny" was an absolute treat. Although the author obviously had a tough time growing up in Kilkenny during the 1930s-1950s, she in no way lays it on thick -- it is balanced between the hardships and joys of growing up in Ireland. Plus, the prose excellent -- flows like a charm. a real page turner in my opinion -- and the narrative is brilliant. You feel like you are actually in Kilkenny -- beautifully descriptive.Best gift I have received in a long while -- a pleasure to read.
