Never Better by Tommie Gorman
The warm, rich and fascinating memoir of beloved broadcaster Tommie Gorman.
[A] page-turner memoir of his life less ordinary..a gem. -- John Downing * Irish Independent *
Gorman's narrative shines, as he outlines the history of his roots in Leitrim and Sligo, his family's modest means, his father's issues with alcohol, the encounters with want, with illness, with death, and all set against a panorama of 20th-century Irish social and political history: the family dramas and sorrows, and the swirl of national life that any reader will recognise, and understand. * Irish Times *

Tommie's memoir brims with his characteristic optimism, faith in humanity and an absence of cynicism rare in such a fine frontline journalist. He evokes many memories as well as gifting us new and welcome insights
into significant contemporary political, sporting and medical events.
