The incredible, candid story of Nuala O’Faolain that became a runaway success on publication. Nuala grew up in a penniless household of nine children, an overwhelmed mother, and a charming but absent father. Despite not having the best start in life, books and a deep love of reading would turn out to be her saviour. Although she became one of Ireland’s best-known columnists, Nuala continued to feel isolated and removed from the world. However, she never shrank from life and pushed against the boundaries of her traditional Catholic Irish upbringing. Those experiences were distilled into this wise and wonderful account of a life well lived and one that in later years, was filled with hope.
