In thirty-five years and dozens of return trips to Ireland, Thomas Lynch has found a template for the larger world inside the small one, the planet in the local parish. Part memoir, part cultural study, Booking Passage is a brilliant, often comedic guidebook for those "fellow travelers, fellow pilgrims" making their way through the complexities of their own lives and times.

"For the first few days there is the usual greeting, punctuated with authentic glee. 'Grand day thank God, entirely!' But after several days in the one week of such relief, the locals take a different view, knowing as sure as heaven there's hell to pay and that too much good requires much more bad to balance it.
'Grand day,' they say with the wary look of the long-suffering, waiting out old peril and new doom, 'Grand day, indeed, the Lord've mercy on us all." ( )
