註釋

Since he first visited Ireland twenty years ago, John McCarthy has felt a strong affinity with its people and landscape. Two decades later much about that country has changed. Aware that the Ireland that first attracted him is only part of the picture, McCarthy sets up home in an isolated corner of County Kerry. From here he examines what it means to be Irish, and unravels his own curious sense of belonging to a place he has never lived in before. A Ghost Upon Your Path presents an unsentimentalized picture of Irish people and the issues confronting their country today. This is a book about change and continuity, betrayal and loss, identity and displacement. Above all, it is a tribute to the strength and character of the ordinary people McCarthy meets.
