When Irish travel writer Richard Hayward set out to explore the Shannon region in 1939, his evocative Where the River Shannon Flowsbecame an instant classic. Eighty years later author Paul Clements retraces his steps: from the tiny spring at the Shannon Pot in Cavan to where it unspools into the Shannon Estuary, 344km downsteam, his journey - by car, boat, bike and on foot - follows the course of Ireland's longest river. Along the way Clements paints a compelling portrait of twenty-first-century Ireland, blending interview and anecdote with a keen eye for the natural world. Shannon Country is a memory map, charting what has been lost and what has changed, for better or worse. It is a homage to the Shannon; a river that runs through literature, art, history and mythology with a riptide pull on our collective imagination.
