| CAULFIELD, ANNIE Irish Blood English Heart Ulster Fry Penguin. 2006. (ISBN: 014101461X) Soft Cover. Annie Caulfield’s early years were spent by the seaside in Ireland. However, the family shifted to Sixties London and soon she wasn’t sure who she was - was she English, was she Irish, and if so, what kind of Irish? Watching the news of The Troubles, she was unable to recognise the country she’d left behind. On return journeys to visit her family over the last thirty years, she discovers how much The Troubles have caused weird and successful aspects of the country’s life and history to be overlooked. Caulfield’s background is religiously and politically mixed, giving her a unique and often astute perspective on The Troubles. This is an Irish emigrant's tale, asking whether you can ever really go back to your roots. If you were a punk rocker when others were on hunger strike, can you really put your hand on your heart and say ‘my people’? If you get a headache and go home to watch Big Brother on 12th July, are you just too flippant to understand your own country? There are many books on the recent history of Northern Ireland, but none give such a funny insight into the lives of ordinary people as Annie Caulfield’s affectionate portrait of ‘Alternative Ulster’. New/New. GBP 3.00 [Appr.: EURO 3.5 US$ 4.98 | JP¥ 440] Book number: 015188 Click here to order or inquire at Bargain Bookstore. | ||

| KOCH, C. J. The Many-Coloured Land: a return to Ireland 2006. (ISBN: 0330487272) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. As a youngster, Christopher Koch was intrinsically aware of his mixed heritage. When Margaret O'Meara, his Tipperary born, rebellious great-great-grandmother, boarded the Tasmania to travel as a convict to the southern hemisphere, there began a new dimension within Christopher's family tree; a secretive past that his mother refused to discuss. Many years later it was in Tasmania that the young Christopher grew up, and here that he began his lifelong quest to better understand his ancestral roots, a quest which rears its head in his travels around Ireland in the 1990s. As Christopher tours modern day Ireland he glimpses signs of tradition amongst the variegated landscape and, with his yearning for meaning, it reminded at every turn of the political and literary figures who have shaped its history. He traces the paths of Yeats and Micheal Collins and talks to the IRA's leading biographer. Over his shoulder always is the young Margaret O/Meara, the rebel whose mysterious adventures placed the first seeds of curiosity in his mind. New/New.
