Customer Reviews

Absolutely wonderful!

A truly wonderful book that would be good for any age. I've read all of the author's books as a result of the charm, insight, emotion and uniqueness I encountered in this book. This should be reissued and incorporated into high schooler's history classes on life in the first half of the twentieth century. The author's descriptions of daily village life in Ireland charms.

The heart of Ireland

If you would know Ireland, don't read McCourt or Cahill; read Alice Taylor. This book is typical of her work in revealing the island as it actually is and not as some do who have an agenda and don't hesitate to "spin" the description to attain the reaction they want. Excellent writing from a truly extraordinary woman with a heart as big as the Republic.
