  The weaving of fact and folklore is the essence of Peter Somerville-Large's fascinating history of 50 years of Irish life. The book is filled with historical and cultural detail unsullied by proselytism or sentimentality. Throughout, the reader can hear the voices of the Irishcommentary by both contemporary writers and those who lived through the events and crises they describe are seamlessly woven into the text. Peter Somerville-Large has a talent for observation, and his interest in the people he writes about is palpable.
