Growing Up with Ireland by Valerie Cox

Growing Up with Ireland by Valerie Cox

One hundred years of memories from Ireland's 'independence babies' - a compelling story of a changing republic

An incredible portal to our past.. These are stories of healing and love and life - and pain. Reading them is like sitting next to one of your grandparents, listening to them as they open their heart to you * The Sunday Times *
Absorbing ... a clear-sighted account of how electricity, mass emigration and healthcare revolutions changed this country - for better and for worse * Sunday Business Post *
A comprehensive and evocative insight into a century of Irish life ... a valuable record * Irish Examiner *

In a long career as a reporter working in newspapers, radio and television, Valerie Cox has interviewed people from every county in Ireland. Over eleven years working on the Today programme on RTÉ Radio she travelled around the country covering stories as diverse as the closure of schools, Garda stations and post offices. She was out with the rescue services in floods and snow and covered the events that make rural Ireland special, including the ploughing. She is the author of four previous books, Searching, which tells the story of Ireland's missing people, The Family Courts, A Ploughing People, and Growing Up With Ireland. Valerie lives in rural County Wicklow with her husband Brian and the couple have five children and four grandchildren.
