A SMIGEN OF IRISH LUCK is a collection of essays taking you on one woman's adventures in Ireland. Planting her feet on Irish soil is all it requires to see extraordinary where there is ordinary, to engage in conversations in the oddest of places and adjust to the inevitable raindrops like a local. You will follow Thomas on her search for the elusive four-leaf clover, face a kiss at the Blarney Stone, share a soulful moment at W.B. Yeats' grave and find it difficult to leave Galway's lively streets. Thomas claims no Irish roots; yet she gets inspired with the music, literature and pub culture like no other place that she has ever visited.
