Summary

I Knew This Place by John MacKenna is a collection of 28 of his radio essays from RTE's radio program Sunday Miscellany.

John MacKenna is the author of 27 books, both fiction and nonfiction. A skilled actor and narrator, he won a Jacob's Radio Award for his documentary about Leonard Cohen. The radio essays in this collection were described by The Irish Times as "enchantments woven with rich and intimate language, snapshots of lives lived, and days passed, distinctly Irish and yet utterly universal".

This audiobook will carry you through three decades of life in the small Irish town of Castledermot and beyond. It offers strong stories and a depth of reflection that provides comfort, questions, and laughter.
