A Place Called Home (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781788495523)

Alice Taylor reflects on her childhood in North Cork and her life in Innishannon, celebrating the places and memories that shaped her.

In fact, two places called home ...

For over sixty years, Alice Taylor has lived in the village of Innishannon, the gateway to West Cork. But her childhood was spent on a farm in North Cork, near the Kerry border, and her memories of that homeplace are vivid.

Here, she recalls the sounds and smells of the farmyard, now silent; she visits her old national school, today in ruins, and her secondary, which has a new life as a cultural centre. She also writes of day-to-day life in her beloved Innishannon.

With her trademark wit and wisdom, Alice takes us on a ramble around both of her homes, celebrating the places, the people and the special moments that have stayed in her heart over the years.
