Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound

What a brilliant book, beautifully written, well constructed, with the might of a good historian and archaeologist behind it. The Norman invasion through the eyes of an enslaved youth whose parents were captured in Britain and brought to Míde. Can’t recommend it too highly.

Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound is an interesting read by Paul M. Duffy. This is my first experience in reading books by this talented author. The writing style is different to me and took a little bit getting used to. The plot is unique, as well. Once I got through the first five chapters, I was hooked and did not want to put it down. I enjoyed going back to the 1100s Ireland. As a granddaughter of an Irish immigrant, I was fascinated in learning more about my Irish heritage. It was fun to learn about Ireland’s culture, history and mythology. Mr Duffy has done his research in bringing this tale alive. I was entertained by taking this journey in seeing the good and bad of those days of the past. The details were so vivid that I felt as though I was transported back in time and living right there. I thought it was a great tale to read.

I am giving Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound four and a half stars. I believe fans of historical fiction, particularly Irish, Gaelic, and medieval historical fiction, will want to read this one. I am interested in reading more books like this one Paul M. Duffy in the future.

I received a paperback copy of Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
