In the High Pyrenees by Bernard Loughlin
Presents a hilarious account of the smells, sensations and neighbourly intrigues of a mountain village. This is a tale of struggles - to restore an old house and garden on a vertiginous mountainside; to wangle a mortgage from sceptical Catalan bankers; to start a business; and to overcome the ghosts of the Loughlins' Irish past.
Bernard Loughlin was born in 1950 in Belfast, and attented the Queen's University there. After working at various jobs around Europe, and then spending a year in Farrera de Pallars in the Catalan Pyrenees, he and his wife Mary Rogan returned to Ireland. In 1981 he became the first Resident Director of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig in County Monaghan, the well-known artists' retreat. In 1999 Bernard and Mary moved back to Farrera, where they continue to live.
