My Irish Childhood ✓ In Stock

This book tells the story of my first 16 years. From my birth in 1932, in the west of Ireland, to the day I left the orphanage for London, in 1949. I hope this book is the first of three. My next book will be set in my favourite city – London.

Breakfast the Night Before ✓ In Stock

This sparkling memoir gives a personal view of Irish rural life from the Economic War of the 1930s to the farming boom and recession of the 1970s. It describes the upbringing of a Protestant only child on a farm near Nenagh in north Tipperary-an idyll interrupted by school in Dublin during the 1940s. Taking over the farm on her father’s death, working the land and animals (dogs, sheep, horses, cattle), the author recounts with great humour, acuity and poignancy her dealings, from the age of seventeen, at fairs throughout the country-Limerick, Kilrush, Cahirmee, Thurles, Ballinasloe, Spancilhill, Clonmel-a lone woman in a man’s world. With rare brio and eye for character, incident and idiosyncrasy, Marjorie Quarton lovingly documents a world of country people, eccentric relatives, home cures and recipes, and unaffected living. Breakfast the Night Before is both entertaining and enduring.
