Jim Moginie's memoir is an eventful journey, metaphorically paddling through adventurous waters with eddies and rapids, whirlpools and rocky shores, and a few washouts, ending in a peaceful village on the outskirts of Cadamstown in County Offaly, in Ireland, which his ancestors called home.
The Silver River, at 290 pages and 50 chapters, frequently changes place and mood, delivering a collection of events and stories, realisations and explanations, in easily digestible bites.
