Cheers! John B. Keane, a literary legend in Ireland, ran a pub in Listowel, County Kerry, with his wife Mary for many years. There, locals gathered after work, and the landlord often became an unwitting confessor to the various quirky characters. Many of them reappear in Keane's humorous, whimsical stories filled with heart. "Like reading legends yet so wonderfully realistic." An Irishman from America hoping to finally find the woman meant for him in Ireland; a shopkeeper who waits by the river under the maple tree for the woman of his dreams well into old age; a little girl who completely changes the life of a postman: lovable oddballs on the lookout for brides; couples who love and hate each other yet navigate everyday life together; quirky, hard-working individuals.
