What better way to experience the richness of Ireland's cultural heritage than a meandering journey through its traditional pubs? The Parting Glass is a nostalgic ramble through 43 of the most inviting establishments in the cities and countryside of Ireland. Eric Roth's warm, glowing photographs and a sparkling text by Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe columnist Eileen McNamara capture the timeless feel and flavor of this intrinsic, but disappearing, part of Irish life.
Ireland's pubs are legendary-unique meeting places where revelers have habitually gathered to sing, dance, and share a little craic with their stout. Some of the pubs visited here are historic taverns; others are more contemporary. But all reflect the vibrancy and drama of the country's social history. Like many traditions entering a new century, Ireland's pub culture may now be endangered, even as the "Irish Pub" look and feel are being exported across Europe and America. This charming volume invites tourists, armchair travelers, and anyone interested in Irish history and culture to raise a "parting glass" to this cherished aspect of life in Ireland.

reviewed The Parting Glass: A Toast to the Traditional Pubs of Ireland on July 19, 2014 The Parting Glass: A Toast to the Traditional Pubs of Ireland
This book was a gift from a friend, and it has been in my TBR pile for a long time. I was reading a magazine with the theme about the joys and comforts of home (which many during the pandemic spent more time in) and decided to look at it. It is wisdom and wit covering each room in your house and your outdoor space. It has recipes, crafts, a lot about aromatherapy and herbs along with little cute quotes and stories. This compilation makes it a feel-good read. Pick and choose what interests you. It did not make me feel like I had to do a certain thing or decorate a certain way. I enjoyed it one hot summer afternoon in my swing as a thankful blessing of being able to have a home to enjoy.
