Father Peter Clifford's arrival in the rural Irish town of Ballykissangel was something of a shock to both himself and the residents. The quirky hamlet is hardly the sleepy backwater he'd envisioned, and the cast of colorful characters who parade in and out of the church provide pithy repartee.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Listening to BALLYKISSANGEL is like being transported to a tiny, eccentric, very Irish village. Narrator Gerry O'Brien's chore is great as he creates minute nuances for each character within the community. He has a talent for subtlety despite a wide range of subjects, including the arrival of a new automated confessional; a postponed wedding and its "non-reception"; and an attempt to remove the very popular (and English) priest, Father Peter, from his post. It's all here--pub, church, farms, rain, and humor--a sheer delight, but the greatest charm is the wonderful modern parables that quietly emerge.

A good read full of wit and humor!,

This review is from: Ballykissangel: A Sense of Place (Paperback)
My Ballykissangel books arrived on spring break from college and I was thrilled to have the time to "devour" them. The characters are so genuine and lovable- I can't wait for the next book to continue the heartwarming journey of a rural village that has become like family to me. Thank you to the writers for a delightful tale.

This review is from: Ballykissangel: A Sense of Place (Paperback)
If you have seen every episode of year one, you will find nothing new. However, if you haven't taped all the shows and watched them three times over you will enjoy going back a wee bit in time to rural Ireland--the Ireland without bombs and the IRA. A delightful place to spend your spare time.
