A splendid read
Mary O'Hara's new book is very moving and uplifting. She writes with a great honesty and recounts her life and times with dignity and warmth. Her faith is inspiring
Mary O'Hara's book was such an enjoyable read. Her easy reading style had me smiling, chuckling, and tearful and kept my interest right through to the end. Mary's life appears to have been one of tremendous contrasts both in terms of her wide experiences, her joys and her sorrows. All of this is so well expressed in the book. As I was reading it, I kept thinking of friends and family who would enjoy it. It makes one want to wish her well as the story continues...... Janine Dudding
Excellent book! Travels with My Harp will appeal to Mary's fans or anyone who enjoys a good autobiography
Enjoyed Mary's book very much - what an interesting life and vividly described. Highly recommended!
A lovely book. Great to hear what Mary has been up to since retiring from performing. Her descriptions of life in Africa are very interesting
A thoroughly absorbing read from a lady who has led a very interesting and varied life. Highly recommended!
Good and interesting read.
A lovely story from one of Ireland's icons.
This book is written in a very readable style with great honesty, integrity and indeed humour. For readers of Mary's first autobiography, the bestselling Scent of the Roses, this book will bring them up to date with her life since 1980 . New readers will be touched by this incredible story of heartbreak, courage and adventure complete with a happy ending. Her insights and observations during her years in Africa with husband Pat seem very astute. Adventures there include finding herself cheek to cheek with an Alpha baboon and other incredible bush stories. Regarded by many as the sweetest voice of her generation,Mary's book will not disappoint.
