The Bodhran (pronounced bough-rawn), makers of the title are \"poverty stricken people who never lost their dignity.\" Every January, they celebrate their Celtic ancestry with a festival of singing, drinking, and music making with the Bodhran, a drum made from goat skin. Review Sly, funny, heart-rending...Keane writes lyrically. Recommended. (Library Journal)At once a rueful elegy to a vanished spirit and a comic celebration. (Publishers Weekly)Furious, raging, passionate and (in a way that skitters along the Pat and Mike border without ever falling over it) very, very funny. (The Boston Globe)A success...holds a necessary and valuable place in Irish literature. (The New York Times) About the Author John B.
