This memoir captures the lost world of the strong-farm family in post-famine Munster, Ireland. Through Mary O'Brien's memories, which she recounted to Mary Carbery, this book tells the story of middle class Catholics in Ireland, who confidently expected to be the inheritors of the earth in a Home-Rule Ireland. Their world has rarely been evoked so sensitively as in this beguiling and most engaging narrative.
