Oh I loved this, full of gossip about the likes of James and Nora Joyce, and the crew of Easter 1916, as well as about her sons. The stories she told made me laugh out loud and it was a great insight into Irish history and old Dublin too. Brendan Behan's mother led an incredible life and her personality shines through and through. Also, the text is accompanied by a great selection of photos. Fair play to Brian Behan for seeing that she deserved a memoir of her own.
