This book was beautiful. The nature writing, in between personal anecdotes, is stunning, and really draws on how the landscape of Ireland really makes you feel. I come from a town a little way outside of Derry, and the way that ni Dochartaigh writes about Derry and the North is so real and raw and vivid. The narrative at times it is hard - life in the North was hard - but it doesn't loose hope. Overall, highly highly recommend.
