Publisher's Summary
As she entered middle age alone, O'Faolain's professional success did little to ease her longing for a deep connection to the world - for a lover, for a child, for a country that, as she says, only upholds that role for a woman. In this extraordinary work, she has distilled her life experiences into a wisdom that springs from her obstinate refusal to shrink from life. She tells her story beautifully, with great heart and a Celtic touch for poetic emotion and insight - providing an exhilarating example of courage, honesty, and bold living.

A surprisingly lovely abridgement
Normally, I don’t like abridgments. This is the exception. It is narrated by the author, after the original book of the same title (published in 1996) It includes later events and the author’s reflections on the surprising response to her book.
Her writing is both lyrical and brutally frank. It is well worth a listen.

Awesome and thought provoking.
Honest, raw, thought provoking and meaningful. I will be getting a paper copy soon so I can see the words, absorb and savour them and savour her authenticity and her powerful way of communicating her truth.
