If you’re looking for some cozy Irish films and novels for your St. Paddy’s celebrations, have I got some recs for you!
Wild Mountain Thyme is a perfect way to escape to a gentler, fuzzier Ireland…Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan star as the would-be lovers, a sweet romance and family story with “all the feels,” set in the lush green countryside of County Mayo.
You’ll find my deep dive into this gorgeous movie over at my new March Little Farm newsletter!
For a very authentic Irish experience, I hope you’ll try The Quiet Girl. It’s an unforgettable, life-affirming story of family and healing.
I shared lots more about the film in my St. Paddy’s countdown last March!
If you like fun Irish reads with comic family relationships and a bit of romance, Marian Keyes knocks it out of the park with My Favorite Mistake. The Walsh sisters descend upon a seaside village in Connemara, and lots of shenanigans ensue as heroine Anna Walsh creates a new life and community for herself in picturesque County Galway.“The Great Tours of Ireland and Northern Ireland” aren’t a book…but a great terrific way to “visit” Ireland without leaving the comfort of your home! It’s a DVD series that takes you all around the Emerald Isle, to the natural wonders, intriguing historical sites, and gorgeous castles and cathedrals.
My husband John gave it to us for Christmas, and I’ve been loving all the history and culture I’ve been learning—plus getting a look at many of the places we saw during our trip to Ireland a few years back!
