Publisher's Summary:
As a child, writer Maggie Wadey was aware her mother was different from her father and his family, and that the difference was do with her Irishness, but she knew nothing of her Tipperary background.
Then, before she died, Agnes Kavanagh began to talk about the past. Gradually, Maggie began to piece together her mothers early life. But it was only after Agnes's death that she discovered another story - a life and a secret hidden in layers of silence.
Critic Reviews:
"A luminous act of love and memory". (Marina Warner)
"So perceptively drawn we are taken immediately into the vivid reality of their lives." (Edward Fox)
"A historical memoir that unfolds like a mystery -personal, universal and beautifully told." (Sadie Jones)
Members Reviews:
Wonderful!
Mesmerizing, poetic-simply lovely. This book is a bravely honest account and very difficult to put down. So much for me reading a little before bed. This book kept me up for hours. I soon realised it was 3 in the morning and I had to be up at 6. Well worth it though. I cannot recommend it enough.
Five Stars
Good
extraordinary and uplifting
On the evidence of this extraordinary and uplifting book Maggie Wadey is a poet who disguises her poetry as prose. The reader is the beneficiary of this deception. While we think we are following a biographical narration - we feel that we are participating in a dream. With an artistry that has no hint of the artist's skill or hard work she achieves something that is comparable to the genius of Laurie Lee: the recounting of real and dramatic experience amplified by a sensitive and sensual imagination.
Highly recommended.
