Book review: The Lost and the Blind

The Lost and the Blind

IN 2008, just as the Celtic Tiger is showing signs of crumbling, Shay Govern seeks out Tom Noone with the offer of a ghost writing project.

Having made a fortune Stateside in both construction and mining, and now into his 80s, Donegal-born Govern has turned his attention to Lough Swilly’s Delphi Island, and plans to mine for gold, an undertaking that will potentially revitalise the entire region.
