When another painting trip to the western coast comes up, Nicholas manages to convince his father to allow him to come along. Niall Williams studied English and French Literature at University College Dublin and graduated with a MA in Modern American Literature. But what grabbed me again, almost from the first page, was not just the fascination of seeing how "life" worked out for the many characters that populate its pages, but also the incredible, soaring beauty of language Williams employs throughout.

This old town is one of a kind in Ireland; the 12th-century town served as the capital of Ulster and even predates the modern city of Belfast.

The city’s most remarkable landmarks include the Belfast Titanic Museum about the history and fate of the sunken RMS Titanic, the Ulster Museum, which exhibits everything you need to know about Ireland and interesting exhibitions from around the world. If you’re in for a drink, the city boasts numerous bars, some historic ones as well, for you to enjoy a glass before winding off in your Belfast hotel of choice.
