| Publisher Description: In Blasket, the lines separating fact from fiction and fantasy are undetectable to produce a credible and unbelievably authentic story that is guaranteed to take you almost as far away from your cares as it did Jack Sullivan.You see, Blasket promised Jack such an unbelievably warm welcome that he was compelled to fly in from Portland, Maine to Kerry, Ireland to take advantage of it, but he didn't know he was being duped.He had no idea that Blasket is just one of many 'Thin Places', so called by ancient orders of Celts for their intrinsic attraction to converging inter-dimensional fault lines. These lines are what separate reality from alternate and occasionally metaphysical realities that run parallel to ours. Jack has a shrewd business brain that helped him to make a very comfortable living from commercial fishing. This was achieved in times tough enough to drive many of his peers into bankruptcy and worse, but there was a price for his success.He knows that he has a bloodline in Kerry and Blasket knows only too well where it was spilled. Both are intent on re-uniting him with his past but with motivations that are literally worlds apart. Jack Sullivan is about to embark on an impossible journey while Blasket does what Blasket was destined to do, which is to tell its story for others to narrate.It transpires that Blasket has a surreal way of revealing its memoirs, but that's not to say the account is not very real indeed. I invite the truth to shine through this darkness. |
