Book Synopsis
These are the letters of a country matchmaker faithfully recorded by John B. Keane, whose knowledge of matchmaking is second to none.In these letters is revealed the unquenchable, insatiable longing that smoulders unseen under the mute, impassive faces of our bachelor brethren.Comparisons may be odious but readers will find it fascinating to contrast the Irish matchmaking system with that of the ''Cumangettum Love Parlour'' in Philadelphia.They will meet many unique characters from the Judas Jennies of New York to Fionnuala Crust of Coomasahara who buried two giant-sized, sexless husbands but eventuallyfound happiness with a pint-sized jockey from North Cork.
