Taylor reviewed New Ireland by Niall O'Dowd
Review of 'New Ireland' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A nice historical intro on the massive cultural changes Ireland has undergone in the last few centuries. The Irish Catholic church and her scandals are covered throughout. The book does an excellent job of highlighting the different types of dysfunction that arise in puritanical societies. The organization and pacing is a little uneven, but it's a good short read about the country's recent secularization.
