Are You Somebody The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman

"The most astonishing book to appear in Ireland this year....[O'Faolain's] book, which is written in a style of stark, merciless tension, tells the story of being raised in Dublin by an alcoholic mother and a charming, feckless father, and then deals with her own desperate search for truth, love, and knowledge in Ireland and England over the past few decades. There is a frankness in the book about the self and sex which is new in Ireland....Her book is likely to become a classic of Irish autobiography."O'Faolain, Nuala is the author of 'Are You Somebody The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman', published 1999 under ISBN 9780805056648 and ISBN 0805056645.
