They are part of a legion of readers across the world who have taken A Hitchiker’s Triptych to heart.
The book is selling particularly well in Ireland.
One of the book’s major chapters deals with our hithchiker travelling through Ireland in 1974, during the height of The Troubles.
Author John Gardiner reveals one side of his family came out from Ireland to settle in Australia just after that country's Great Famine.
John tells wonderful stories of his travels through Ireland during 1974, as he hitchhikes about in a bid to learn as much as he can about the country of his father’s grandfather.
He learns of the history of Ireland and gathers wondrous insights as he travels far and wide enjoying charming encounters of serendipity with colourful bands of Irish characters.
He travels about learning why The Troubles are so deeply rooted in this country.
The young Australian travels through the Irish Republic. His encounters are largely carefree, joyous and touching. John describing a glorious country of charm and beauty.
Then he hitchhikes north, across the border into Belfast. The turmoil and violence he blunders into there, in 1974, terrifies him.
The young journalist learns very quickly he was never cut out to be a war correspondent.
Raging night fires in the streets of Belfast, squads of heavily armed troops, tanks, helicopters wup wupping through the air, blocked-off streets, bombs, bullets, murder and mayhem.
John quickly learns this conflict is not for him. He’s a traveler, an explorer.
No room for him in this troubled, disturbed world.
Tourists and rubber-neckers are not a good fit in this violent world.
Our Australian traveler flees to safer places. But not before leaving readers with stunning and incredibly powerful word pictures of the villages and towns he travelled through in Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles.
We are taken back to 1974 to hotbeds of violence and open warfare. Provided a tiny taste of what living was like in trouble spots during the height of The Troubles.
A Hitchhiker's Triptych is a wonderful book. Pages of serendipity. Pages of fun and carefree times. Legends and history told in a fascinating, easy style. Then pages of serious social commentary that capture shocking moments in time that gripped the world in a morbid fascination.
This book shifts gears often.
Readers are left constantly wondering what is coming next.
In the words of Marylu and Donna – “Jump in, join the journey. Find out why so many people are enjoying this enchanting book. It's hard to put down.”
