Absorbing and fascinating

This is a wonderfully written commentary on many aspects of rural Irish life in the recent past - when my grandparents and great-grandparents lived like this. There are a multitude of good drawings, interesting to learn about and/or compare with American implements. It's easy to pick up again after a hiatus, or easy to read right through. The author draws on her own family's experiences and acquaintances to illumine her narrative. I'm so glad I stumbled on this little volume!
