A vibrant miscellany of Irish life with an event for every day of the year, both recent – divorce, same-sex marriage & abortion referendums and Riverdance – and historical: the battles in Clontarf and the Boyne, Annie Moore’s arrival on Ellis Island, and reading the Proclamation on Easter Monday, 1916.
For anyone with an interest in History this is a fantastic reference book. As a secondary school teacher I have found that it has also sparked my students interest in history even further and has given them some great ideas for areas of further study for their own research projects.
