Details: A haunting and often hilarious warts and all account of growing up in a small rural community near the seaside town of Bray, County Wicklow in the days before television; of sheep's brains for Sunday dinner and senna pods every Saturday to keep you 'regular'; of the curious goings-on in the winter of 1953/54 during a seven month stay a Dublin hospital; of the excitement among the young at the arrival of the sensational new music called Rock-n-Roll, and the comically desperate measures taken to keep adolescent hormones in harness. A wonderfully evocative trip into 1950s Ireland. Praise for Wicklow Gold: "I loved this book...The author is to be congratulated. This is a thoroughly enjoyable novel." Anna Cooke, BOOKS IRELAND
