Meer oor hierdie e-boek

Back in the last weeks of February, which now feels like a hundred years ago, we here in Innishannon were busy planning what was termed 'The Big Rake Off' of the dead grass on the long sloping bank beside the road coming into the village. Happily unaware of forthcoming events, we were totally focused on creating our wild flower bank: to get something like this going you need a 'metheal', a word which prior to the corona virus was unknown to anyone under 40.

Then everything changed ... Exploring the themes of community, family and personal wellbeing, Alice Taylor examines a world changed utterly by the arrival of a once-in-a-century infectious disease.

Heart-warming, reflective yet always practical, Alice is a wonderful guide in a world unlike the one we lived in only a few short months ago.

Meer oor die skrywer

Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in a house
attached to the local supermarket and post office. Since her eldest son has
taken over responsibility for the shop, she has been able to devote more time
to her writing. Alice Taylor worked as a telephonist in Killarney and Bandon.
When she married, she moved to Innishannon where she ran a guesthouse at
first, then the supermarket and post office.
To School Through the Fields was published in May 1988. It was an immediate
success, and quickly became the biggest selling book ever published in
Ireland. Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, large exploring her
village of Inishannon, and the way of life in rural Ireland. One of Ireland's most
popular authors, her most recent book is And Life Lights Up.
