The final part of cartographer Tim Robinson’s Connemara trilogy (the first two parts Listening to the Wind and The Last Pool of Darknessare already available in Penguin paperback) explores the Gaelic heritage of the region, one of the last remaining strongholds of the Irish language. The landscape that Robinson evokes is made up as much from words and stories as from rocks and water, and it is his sensitivity to the human and natural worlds and their intersections across time and place that mark him out as one of our greatest celebrators of locality.
