An autobiographical tapestry; recollections of an Irish childhood linked to an account of a journey there today, interwoven with fragments of Irish mythology, history and hearsay. All the essential poetry, beauty, strangeness, simplicities, superstitions and fears of rural Ireland are evoked by Edna O’Brien’s lyrical and personal style and by Fergus Bourke’s magnificent photographs. 19.5mm x 12.5mm x .5mm.
