Passage to Inis Mor

Conor O’Rourke’s wife, Giselle, has left him, taking their young son back to her family home in France, and without her Conor’s life is in bits. His advertising agency in Sydney, Australia, is bankrupt. He’s drinking too much, struggling with depression, and hearing voices in his mind urging him to return to his childhood home in Ireland.
His grandmother contacts him, saying that she is dying and must speak with him. But, when he arrives on Inis Mór, a hauntingly lonely, starkly beautiful island in Galway Bay, she has already passed, leaving him a cottage and a dilapidated old sailing boat. A mysterious old seaman appears, offering to help rebuild the boat and, as they work together, the old man tells Conor stories of Ireland. Stories of the Selkies, (the Seal people.) Legends of strong Irish women and their families. Myths of the Banshee and Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster. Tales of purpose, love, and passion. Stories that could help Conor redeem his broken marriage if only he can muster the courage to follow his heart.
