Synopsis

God, fairies, jiving factory girls, a crocodile-wielding father, long-lost lives, and equally long-lost multinationals all form part of the brilliant world of Rita Ann Higgins's collection of essays and poems. For over two decades Rita Ann Higgins has provided a voice for the voiceless. In these essays, which form a poetic memoir, she shows yet again that she is one of the best contemporary Irish writers.
