My only Irish book this year has been How the Irish Saved Civilisation. I read it in February though, so I don’t know if it counts! But it tells us of a really fascinating slice of Irish history, set at the fall of the Roman Empire when Europe went up in flames, and when Ireland, because it was remote, managed to save a lot of classical literature and philosophy.
A really interesting book! http://bloggingaroundmybookcase.com/2015/02/21/how-the-irish-saved-civilisation-thomas-cahill/
