Memoir from the bestselling author of To School Through the Fields who has been described by The Observer as 'Ireland's Laurie Lee...a chronicler of fading village life and rural rituals who sells and sells'. In this collection she takes her readers along the byways of Ireland and into the heart of the country.

In stories by turn comic and poignant, she explores the character of family and friends, testing the bonds of concern and kindness which hold people together.
