North to The Edge: Sligo Malin Head — Book Three of Painter's Road

The final leg. Driving the empty bog roads out of Achill toward Sligo, Jim Brennan gets a flat tyre outside Bangor Erris - and is led, by the sheep farmer who stops to help, to a hidden holy well he never would have found otherwise. It is the right beginning for the last book of THE PAINTER'S ROAD: a journey that has always found its best moments sideways, by accident, on the way to somewhere else.North to the Edge carries Jim and The Curragh past Dún Briste at Downpatrick Head, under Ben Bulben to Yeats's grave, along Mullaghmore's harbour and Slieve League's iron-red cliffs, to Glenveagh Castle's mirror lake, a boatbuilder's fire-lit shed on Lough Swilly, and finally to Banba's Crown at Malin Head - the fifteenth and last Signature Discovery Point, and the end of a one-summer journey around the whole of Ireland's Atlantic coast.Illustrated with thirteen original paintings - including the series' closing image of Malin Head itself - this final volume brings the story, and the road, home.Inside this book: - The final four Signature Discovery Points, ending at Malin Head- Thirteen full-colour original paintings and watercolours- Yeats's grave under Ben Bulben, Slieve League's cliffs, and Glenveagh Castle's mirror lake- The closing chapter of a three-book, fifteen-headland journey around Ireland's west coastFor readers who followed Jim from Kinsale in Book One, and for anyone who has ever wanted to see the whole of the Wild Atlantic Way, one painting at a time.
