About Irelandish:

Affection is a theme throughout Jana Zvibleman’s travel memoir, Irelandish.

As American blow-ins Jana and Bruce zigzag through the land of the redheads, they develop fondness for everything from the fiddling to the ugly swans, the bouncing lasses to the screaming market mammy. Exploring the magical mundane, the couple ponders and personalizes timeless stories of today’s Celts. Irelandish is a tender romance, a comedy of quirks, a tear-jerker, and a foot-tapper. Readers will relish the journey with Jana as she balances one stone on top of the other and often watches them topple.

With live music provided by Steve Allely.
