- Summary:
- James Charles Roy leads us through the Irish past in this delightful book, a first-person account of his renovation of the run-down castle -- a crumbled tower, really -- that he purchased more than thirty years ago. He weaves his personal story into a wide-ranging historical conversation, leading us to question what attracts us -- or, perhaps more aptly, him -- to the rubble of a castle from Irish days long past.
