Résumé
Martin Fletcher was initially sent to Northern Ireland as a reporter for The Times, but while reporting on the tortuous peace negotiations his wife was meeting the ordinary people. Although essentially a tour of the country, the real story is… told in endless digressions, with the author hunting rats on an island in the middle of the Strangford Lough and participating in the ancient game of road-bowling, in which players compete to hurl iron balls along two or three miles of country lane. 2001.
