You're Grand: The Irishwoman's Secret Guide to Life

by Tara Flynn

Irish Women have been around for ages - some would say almost as long as Irish Men. We've learned a lot in that time but, until now, we haven't shared it. Perhaps being shushed by priests/foreign invaders/the wind for too long has taken its toll - but our time has finally come to speak out.Here comedian Tara Flynn shares the wisdom of the Irishwoman, and why she holds the keys to success in life and how to live it - especially the rough bits. Armed with her all-purpose 'You're grand' philosophy, there is nothing the Irishwoman can't weather (even the weather). Need dating advice? Ask an Irishwoman. Need a recipe for brown bread? We're your gals. Worried about death? Don't be! Put the fun back in funeral!Covering all things grand, from the grand basics starter pack, to how to spice up your love life (a lesson in 'Irotica', anyone?) - if this book doesn't change your life (and it will), it might just help you laugh at it.

Insight into the culture

Do read if you don't know who Peig is, and if you can't tell the difference between 'good' and 'grand'.

At 40% through this book I've realised that I'm no longer enjoying it so I'm calling it a day.
It was a grand book, but it just wasn't for me. It was like a book that Mrs Doyle would have written. While it is funny, this kind of humour doesn't last the length of a book.
"It's funny because it's the opposite of what is true" just isn't enough to park a whole book on for me.
This may be a hilarious book for many people, but it's just not for me.
