The acclaimed actor, Pádraic Delaney, who starred in such movies as The Wind That Shakes the Barley and Blackthorn, as well as the smash-hit Showtime television series, The Tudors, recently took the time to read On the Road to Winterhaven.

Here’s what Pádraic had to say:

“To say that this book is a good old fashioned story is not to do it a disservice, but the opposite; too many contemporary writers try too hard to be clever and love the sound of their own voices via their characters or narrative and as a result, the story gets lost. Geoff Nolan avoids this by serving the storyline first and foremost and so gives us a rich fable with characters we care about and a strong moral message that we can all learn from. In the age of the internet and social networking and at a time when we’re all in such a hurry to get rich and get to our graves, it’s a pleasure to be transported back to Winterhaven where life moves at a simpler pace and true core values exist. Would thoroughly recommend On the Road to Winterhaven to anyone.”

It was a real pleasure to have Pádraic read the novel and I’m absolutely thrilled with his verdict!

Pádraic’s next movie, Dark Touch, will be released later this year.
