Did your mother come from Ireland?By Fiona LowtherIf you are looking for good writing; a good story; a happy and moving biography; if you're interested in Ireland; in the immigrant experience and a true story that screams to be made into a movie; if you're interested in the newspaper world; in short if you for once want your money's worth when you buy a book; this one is unputdownable.It's the sort of book that when you reach the last page; you start reading all over again at the beginning and enjoy it just as much - or more - the second time around.In sum: A classic.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
