Synopsis

When 38-year-old Conner O’Rourke returns to Ireland he’s running from his past. His advertising agency in Sydney is going broke, the bank is foreclosing on his mortgage, and he’s hearing 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, rocky little island some 30 miles off the West Coast of Ireland, she’s 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, passion, and purpose. Stories that could change Conner’s life forever if he can only muster the courage to follow his heart.“O’Raleigh’s new book: Passage to Inis Mór - reminds one great Irish writers, such as Sean O’Faolain and Benedict Kiely.” Frank O’Shea - The Australian Irish EchoFollowing are some of the over 1,000 Amazon Reviews received for Passage to Inis Mór."An awesome story! I just finished this book and it's one of the best I've ever read! The story was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed it and wished it would go on and on!

Well done Brian O'Raleigh!Amazon 5-Star Review "A wonderful book. Truly, a book that makes you think about who you are and what you want in life.

Enjoyed the Irish folklore,the writing not so much. And heavy handed re finding purpose. And now I know author has a “finding purpose” line of business. Ugh.......more

who was that mysterious man? A very compiling Irish story......more

While reading this book, there were moments where I was carried away to the shores of Ireland, and swept up by the mystical storytelling. A truly unique experience! Had it not been for some pacing inconsistencies and unrealistic (at times) dialogue, this would have been a five star read!......more

Enjoyable read for sure I may read this again one day. There's much wisdom here. I have never read or heard of Brian O'Raleigh, but I know will be looking to see his other works momentarily.
