Reviews for Celtic Woman: A memoir of Life's poetic Journey
Elinor Dickson, co-author with Marion Woodman of Dancing in the Flames "In her glorious Celtic Woman memoir, Treasa O'Driscoll has captured an amazingly full life in its myriad phases of growth and the result is illuminating and deeply moving. The emotional journey she undertakes is reminiscent of the best autobiographies
and so, too, the intellectual journey that never desists; that makes us, too, want to undertake such a journey and meet these wise individuals and have our own lives transformed accordingly. This is a book that, with deep urgency, I want to pass along to others."
Matthew Corrigan, author, retired Professor of Creative Writing, York University "Richly layered with meaning, refined as velvet, writing is thinking, here."
Nuala O'Faolain, author of My Dream of You "When you sit down to read Treasa O'Driscoll's Celtic Woman, settle in as it is a thought train you'll not want to alight from. It is filled with play words, word play, poetry, history, romance, leaving no sense untouched. Off you go; it's a fulfilling journey."
Malachy McCourt, author of A Monk Swimming "Treasa O'Driscoll's book is an enlightened journey back to the spiritual heart of Ireland."
James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy
