4.0 out of 5 stars Good paranormal mystery, March 21, 2000
In Chicago, Nuala Anne McGrail and her spouse Dermot love their infant Nelliecoyne, who shares many of the fey-like powers her mother possesses. At the same time that she finds family bliss, Nuala is enjoying popularity as a recording folksinger. However, her near perfect world comes under siege by an obsessed DJ, Nick Farmer, who wants to destroy Nuala's career and legally have Nelliecoyne taken away from her loving parents.

While preparing for war with her radio foe, Nuala and her daughter share a psychic experience on the shores of Lake Michigan. Nuala "sees" the century old sinking of a ship containing many members of an ancient order. With Dermot's help, Nuala researches the Irish heritage in the Windy City thinking it is linked to what went down with that ship. She also valiantly fights to preserve her loving family from Farmer's odious tirades.

The return of Nuala Anne McGrail is more than just good luck for readers. The audience knows they are in for a weird, but wonderful tale about fascinating characters. Nuala and Dermot retain their charm especially when they dote on an infant with psychic powers. The story line is entertaining in a strange sort of way, bringing insight into the history of the Irish along the shores of Lake Michigan. Like with his previous bestsellers IRISH GOLD and IRISH MIST, IRISH EYES will surely shine down on Mr. Greeley for another triumphant tale.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tell me more!, June 28, 2000
I've just been introduced to Nuala & Dermott--where have I been! I am hooked now, however, and am going back in time to read Irish Gold & Irish Lace to start. Father Greeley has created two wonderful characters in Nuala & Dermott, the language is, as one would expect, typical of Irish-Americans, as is the portrayal of the woman being of strong character. I was tickled by his honest portrayal of Dermott's mixed feelings about their new little baby, and the worry it was causing his precious wife. I was fascinated by the history of the Great Lakes shared in this book, and realized how little I know of other, not so famous shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. So, as well as going back and reading more of Nuala & Dermott, I am going to read up on Great Lakes History as well. Tis a fine thing when an author inspires one to read more about it, tis!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Book!!!, August 19, 2001
By A Customer
This book is one of the best books I have read in a long long time. The way the writer writes about Naula and Dermot's love, is astounding. Then mixing in what it's like for them to a child, and a protective dog. Then the mystery they wanted/needed to figure was great.
