The Dublin Marilyn

By Jackie Devoy

The Dublin Marilyn transports readers back to 1960-80s Dublin through one girl's coming-of-age amongst struggling inner city families. Capturing the era of booming post-war 'Baby Boomers, ' this nostalgic tale highlights the tight-knit community binding battling neighbourhoods together.
Despite poverty and hardship, an unbreakable solidarity reigned - with helping hands extended whenever crises hit, and no pretensions of anyone being better than the next. Stitching tales steeped in humour and heart, the story unfolds in the lyrical lilt of working-class Dublin speech from a vanished time.
Whether reconnecting older readers to bygone memories or shocking younger minds with harsher lives, The Dublin Marilyn pays tribute to the humour and resilience of cities past. With evocative images complementing the rich narrative, immerse yourself in yesteryear's vibrant streets - where community meant family and family meant everything.
