Reflections on a Summer Sea is a wonderful evocation of a magical place caught in time - a funny and touching true story of a group of talented ecologists who, as a hobby, spent forty summers at their privately owned field laboratory in a beautiful corner of south-west Ireland. The sea laps on every page, for events take place beside and beneath a stunning marine lake in this beautiful country, where myths seep from the ground like will o’ the wisps and eccentrics are always in season.
