Shamrock Tea
Ciaran Carson
Shamrock Tea is Ciaran Carson's most ambitious book to date. Like Fishing for Amber, it delights in stories and their meandering connections with an infinity of other stories. The Arnolfini Portrait is at the centre of the book, the great van Eyck painting of a merchant and his wife in the city of Bruges. Around the painting swirls a galaxy of esoteric and entertaining knowledge of saints' days, herbal cures, animal symbolism, miracles and transformations.
