More about the book
The Blasket Islands reveals the poignant history of this doomed island community off the west coast of Ireland. It discusses the community's origins, and the slow erosion of a genuine culture, one that produced a sizeable library of classic memoirs, and gives a detailed account of the island families and their inevitable fate -- the last people were evacuated in 1953 when they could no longer sustain their remote way of life.
