Set largely in the 1960s and 70s, Susan Farrell's vivid memoir is a
compelling account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh, a
world rooted in tradition and in the seasons, and still recovering from
the impact of the Second World War.
Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food and family stories in
abundance to trace the legacy of that way of life through rationing, the
Troubles and the increasing pressures on our connection with seasonal
eating and country living.
