Product Description
Mayo God Help Us is a multiple love story set in Co Mayo. Princess is a troubled girl, who had a traumatic childhood experience, is drawn to Hermit in his humble abode (an ancient church and burial ground).
Princess is also attracted to Vet, a renowned animal doctor. But Vet already has a fine Lady since their college days in Dublin. She is a professional musician and is composing her masterpiece, a Donkey Concerto. Another fanciful character is Paw Around, who is not the best dancer in the world. He has an obsession with the Showband era.
And if you are looking for an eccentric character, there is Penny Farthing, who circumnavigates around Mayo on an ancient bike with one giant wheel and one small wheel. He is organising the World Olympics Penny Farthing Tour de Mayo. Merry-Go-Round is a Civil Servant who has seen it all. He is into reincarnation, and recalls horrific experiences from past lives.
However, the main character of Mayo God Help Us is Mayo itself; an unashamed paean of praise for the beauty of its landscape; its heroic sons and daughters, who have achieved noble status in Mayo and around the world. Mayo spirit. Mayo spirituality never lapses into maudlin sentimentality and is brought out by the characters, with tongue-in-cheek wit and merriment.
