I have James Joyce to thank for helping me discover the Madison & Co boutique in Glasthule village in Co Dublin. There I was on Bloomsday, the annual June 16 expedition to follow Joycean enthusiasts reading at the Sandycove tower, which features in the opening scenes of his literary epic Ulysses. While the food outside Cavistons restaurant was delish, my neck was craned to get a better look at the window of the boutique behind me.
