Rathcormick by Homan Potterton

Set in 1950s rural Ireland, Rathcormick is the engaging and beautifully written tale of a large and happy Protestant farming family: a stern and domineering Papa, a warm and practical Mama, their two daughters and six sons. For Homan, the youngest, life is a free-spirited awakening in a world of old-fashioned virtue and frugality. But no boyhood lasts forever, and an abrupt turn of events signals an end to the idyll. Exploring the values and mores of an almost lost part of Irish society, Rathcormick is an unforgettable memoir: funny, compelling, and original.
Homan Potterton was Director of the National Gallery of Ireland and Editor of Irish Arts Review.
