So Gail found this old book on a stall on Avenue Reforma in Mexico City, and the friendly bookseller gave it her for free. It was one of very few that was in English and not by Dan Brown.
(Gail, we needn't tell them that you saw the title 'Wolf Tone' and thought it was about the 18th century 'father of Irish Republicanism', need we?)
Well I have had a quick read and find it quite stunning that the author Lawrence Goldman has apparently been forgotten. What a loss to the world! Such a perceptive novelist. I mean show me another serious writer who recognises the special qualities of the WFT....?
Please someone tell me where I can find more books by this fine gentleman.
BOL, now there's an author who knows what he's talking bout!

ReplyDeleteCrikey!!! An authority on types of killing AND pulling birds with wire-hairs. Bertie lad, you may have found a coal of a diamond!!! hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Oh Bertie that Mr. Goldman was a man way ahead of his time. Already knowing the true value of a wire haired terrier's magnetic personality and charm!!!I love it. And now I will keep my eyes open wider as I read novels.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to use this book for YAM Aunty's FFF

Great find to Gail! Our daughters both loved to walk Gussie, said he was a “hunk magnet!”
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing that your Gail found this book while on vacation so far away and that it also has a WFT reference.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!!! So maybe Gail WAS thinking about you while she was having fun in Mexico:)
