### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great writing, intellectual sensability
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2013*

I sure don't get the overall three stars on this!Nuala O'Faolian has written some very engaging fiction, and essays. This is a memoir and as such does not have a plot in the normal sense, nor is it expository writing. It is descriptive, musing and a somewhat inconclusive story by someone who can really write. It appears that her life was not happy so you will not find a tidy story with an uplifting ending.But it is not depressing. It is fascinating really; you learn about Ireland, you are engaged in the various adventures of Nuala O'Faolian's life and eventually you are engulfed by her hypnotic prose. This is not for everyone. It's a bit of an intellectual and emotional odyssey and you're not sure where you are going. If you can handle that you are well rewarded. It is very well written and engaging.I found Nuala O'Faolian to be great company and a wonderful discovery. I have gone on to read more. I wish more of her work was on the Kindle!

    Excellent and Honest
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014*

This is a very moving, beautifully honest, and sometimes disturbing memoir.  Growing up in Dublin in the 1950s and 60s was not an easy life for women (and for many men).  The sexual repression, the oppression of the Catholic church, and the complications of large families left many young women feeling isolated and confused.  O'Faolain covers this terrain in a thoughtful, self-reflective, and often poetic way.  She was a natural storyteller.  Some of it is very sad, some very funny, and yes as other reviewers have noted there is a little bit of name-dropping, although in the end this did not bother me terribly, as she did have contact with a lot of very powerful people.  It was part of her life.The ending of the book I found extremely sad and moving.  This is a better, truer book about life in Ireland than Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes.

    Being Irish
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018*

Smoking,Drinking,and the Pub,the three main facets in the life of the Irish.Maybe not so much today but the last couple of generations have housed these three.One can feel the desolation when reading this book.what possess a a parent to abuse their children as they do?I guess this was how they were treated so they just passed it along.Life in Ireland was not for the weak of heart,WOMEN were less then second class citizens.She is a powerful writer and gets her points across in many varied forms.It was a good read for me others may not like the way it is told.It kind of shatters the idyllic dreams one has of the Emerald Isle.
