A Ghost Upon Your Path is written in a crisp, evocative journalistic style, and is crammed full of interesting facts about Ireland and peopled with the interesting characters McCarthy meets in his pilgrimage home. One wonders whether this book would have been published if McCarthy was not already a celebrity? Family history is not really interesting to non-family members. But McCarthy has the sense to personalise the search into his roots by telling us of his ambiguous feelings for his mother. Underlying the story is the sense that there are more ghosts in McCarthy's life than he is telling. Most intriguing is the sense that he (as the cover photo suggests) will never really recover from his Beirut ordeal, and that as a result, his trek to Ireland was simply another journey of a solitary man, restless in the pursuit to discover his true home. --Dwight Longenecker
