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.
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.
