Title: The homes - grand and small - of the Emerald Isle
Product review: This book provides an illustrated tour of Ireland's homes. It doesn't shy away from the colonial past and even foregrounds how the grand country homes of the Anglo-Irish were an example of militant grandeur, the title of the first chapter. On p. 61, there's an extraordinary traveling shrine hung with 15th and 16th century Russian icons now found in Bantry House.At the end of the book there are cottages and buildings repurposed as houses. The photography is excellent. I've given it four stars because there's not an overall sense of Irish history but rather a series of different houses. But it's a lot of fun to look through and it's very well designed.
