The Things We've Handed Down (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781691190089)

This book is the antithesis of the Irish misery memoir. It is an inspirational and joyous celebration of courage and resilience in the face of adversity; an account of how a couple managed to raise seven children in a happy, carefree environment while encountering a potentially disastrous sequence of set-backs and tragedies during the first fifteen years of their marriage. The book provides a vivid description of life in the rural west of Ireland during the 50s and 60s and is an uplifting celebration of the happy family, hitherto grossly unrepresented in Irish writing.
