Product Description
Love story of a remarkable 20th century Irish couple. Reads like a novel. Can be stranger than fiction. In fact, it's a family memoir.
Memory has its own story to tell, not history, nor biography, not even un hommage. Shards of memory are sculpted here fashioning them into a truthful play whose principals are the author's own parents.
What gives it its verve and shape is the sense of personal discovery that there's more to these familiar figures than the author ever anticipated.
While the story is focused on Máire and Jim, it also plays on a second register - the morphing of Ireland, politically and culturally, from colony to modern liberal democracy.
