Passage to Inis Mór

Could a Legend Save a Life?

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 Echo)

Fine old Irish tale

Took me back to my adventures around Ireland and the many wonderful stories its good people would tell. Fine novel in the way of the Aran Islands oral tradition.

Throughly Enjoyed

Well written and narrated story. All the characters came to life and I could almost smell the sea air. I have only been to Inis Mor once and now I long to go back.
