Described as the greatest epic voyage in modern Irish history, Tim Severin and his companions constructed a boat using only sixth-century A.D. techniques and materials, mirroring the time when St. Brendan was believed to have sailed to America. The vessel was made from forty-nine ox hides stitched together and stretched over a wooden frame, with the leather skin measuring just a quarter of an inch thick. Severin and his crew embarked on their journey from Brandon Creek in Dingle to Newfoundland, enduring storms and even a puncture from pack ice. This dramatic account of their adventure captures the essence of being in a small, open boat amidst the vast North Atlantic, encountering curious whales, misty landfalls, and the warm hospitality of seafaring communities along the way. The narrative is both brilliantly written and meticulously researched, making it a classic of modern exploration, translated into 27 languages. Tim Severin, an explorer, filmmaker, and lecturer, has undertaken numerous expeditions, including crossing the Atlantic in a medieval leather boat and searching for Moby Dick. He has authored several books and received multiple literary awards, including the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award and the Book of the Sea Award.

Even as a young girl, growing up in the Bronx, Mary Higgins Clark knew she wanted to be a writer. The gift of storytelling was a part of her Irish ancestry, so it followed naturally that she would later use her sharp eye, keen intelligence, and inquisitive nature to create stories about the people and things she observed. When Mary's father died during the Depression, her mother decided to open the family home to boarders, and placed a discreet sign next to the front door that read, FURNISHED ROOMS. KITCHEN PRIVILEGES. The family's struggle to make ends meet; her employment as a hotel switchboard operator; the death of her beloved older brother in World War II; her brief career as a flight attendant for Pan Am; her marriage to Warren Clark; sitting at the kitchen table, writing stories, and finally selling the first one for one hundred dollars (after six years and some forty rejections!) - all these experiences figure into Kitchen Privileges.
