In this collection, one of Ireland's best-known political figures brings
us new and selected stories of politics, of family, of love and of
friendship. These are portraits of Ireland, and especially Belfast, old
and new, in times of struggle and in times of peace, showing how our
past is always part of our present. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny,
always moving, these are stories of ordinary people captured with wit,
with heart and with understanding. Introduction by Timothy O'Grady.
