Here's the craic In a funny coming-of-age memoir, KC recounts her adventures at a prestigious university in Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, after moving from small-town America. Having kept a blog about her travels and adventures, she mines the past, sharing stories both interesting and humorous about discovering Europe on her own, amusing cultural conundrums, finding romance abroad, and fitting in. With bubbly, American optimism and tactlessness, KC bumbles through debate societies, literature studies, Irish tours, and social norms, leaving her own unique mark in Dublin. KC showcases the quirky, charming characters she meets, remembers embarrassing moments, and provides travel commentary about seeing Dublin and the Irish from her limited point of view. As she wanders through rural villages and bustling Dublin, her irreverent travelogue will keep you laughing out loud and eager to explore what lies around the next corner. Droll, moving, and relevant, My Year in Dublin shows how our differences can unite us, and how one girl's brutally frank tourist's-eye-view of Ireland helped shape her identity.
