These ruined walls, which rose out of the ashes of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, loom large throughout the authorâ (TM)s own childhood years; their crumbling remains both a monument to and an echo of the past. \u003cp\u003ePart memoir and part social history, it interweaves historical research with the authorâ (TM)s own personal memories to create an unsentimental snapshot of a moment in Irelandâ (TM)s recent past embedded within a broader historical backdrop. The writing shifts seamlessly between the past and present tense to graphically portray experiences of growing up in the prevailing culture and conditions of the time â \" bringing to life the atmosphere of the 1950s and â (TM)60s in rural Ireland as seen through the eyes of a child. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Galvin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1527503577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527503571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Galvin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623143780607,"sku":"9781527503571","price":50.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d530472-7106-4ff4-8ae6-1315d99a03f4.jpg?v=1780431198","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-social-history-of-rural-john-galvin-9781527503571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
