Twenty women from the Dingle Gaeltacht look back on their lives and the changes they have witnessed from childhood to the present day. The accounts they give are intimate, recalling their personal lives but their memories and experiences extend beyond the personal to their shared experience of living on the western edge of Europe.
Collectively they provide a commentary on the changing face of Ireland. These women, who are familiar with the hedge schools and the famine from the first hand accounts of their grandparents, now connect with their grandchildren on their mobile phones.
The book is bilingual. The Irish script sit along side the English translation.
