What's not to like? It's an important and almost universal story: a community with a rich past wrestles with how to choose its future in the face of new wealth and development. The story is told in the beautifully-recorded voices of Irish villagers and through Frank Brownings always smart and engaging writing. For all its familiarity in the abstract, this story is filled with details and twists that make it absolutely fresh: the woman with the thatched-roof cottage, the fiddle music, the Persian Jewish "blow-in" violin maker. A town faced with the choice of becoming a "dormitory town" or a "Disneyland of Irishness" instead chooses music. A lovely story, musically told. Highly recommended.
