Book Description
History intertwines with autobiography as Heather recounts the story of her Connemara ancestors, her eccentric relatives, her neighboring cottagers and fisher-folk, and of her own life as an artist, witnessing the horrors of the Famine. She evokes a vanished era and landscape where carriages, candles, and wakes intersected with the world’s first wireless station and the incredible landing of the first transatlantic flight.
