Description
Aran to Africa: An Irishman's Unique Odyssey
This memoir follows Pádraig O'Toole's remarkable journey from his childhood in Ireland, where he learned English as a barefoot boy, to his later life as a teacher of the Qur'an, expert horseman and boatman, and priest. Along the way, he encounters a range of influential figures, including authors, media experts, and educationalists.
With reflections on his life inspired by his experiences, O'Toole recounts his marriage to internationally renowned singer Mary O'Hara and his later retirement to his native Inis Mór. This new edition features additional photos, tributes, and a preface by acclaimed writer Sebastian Barry.
