Ten days ago I wandered around and around to the little side street behind Trinity College and finally discovered Sweny's, a delightful bookshop that won me over immediately. Especially in part to Jack, the ruggedly handsome gent behind the counter who was as charming as could possibly be.
Readers of James Joyce's novel
Ulysses will know of Sweny's as the place where Leopold Bloom stopped and purchased some lovely lemon soap. Sweny's still makes and sells the soap and I had just enough Euros to snag me a copy of
Ulysses and two bars all for me!
