This is a delightful little book. It's written in an approacable conversational way which really helps create an atmosphere of Irish life. Some lovely poems are spread throughout too that echo themes from the main text. It's a format that really works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Enchanting Book..., May 11, 2011

From Amazon - This review is from: 'Tis As It Was (Paperback)

This is an enchanting little book that engaged me from the beginning. The author describes places and events growing up in Ireland with effortless and musical prose. She has her own poetry too, which is interspersed seamlessly into the text, that echoes the many themes she touches on. Overall, quite an enjoyable read and a charming memoir on Irish life and culture.
