Synopsis

Norma McMaster grew up in Co Cavan in the 1940s and 50s as a Presbyterian. This is a simple, charming and very informative memoir of those times and of the experiences of a young girl growing up in a very close-knit family, in clear harmony with their neighbours and yet holding on to their own distinctive culture and way of seeing things. She tells of her experiences of the Orange marches and dances around the Glorious Twalf, of the complete lack of any tensions about this with her neighbours, as far as she could see, and of the clearly understood necessity for Protestant girls to go to dances and socials which were patronised by Protestant boys - the consequences of the Catholic NeTemere decree were all too deeply felt.
