Item description from seller

Feminist, socialist, trenchant social commentator, Nell has seen and lived it all. From the early days of the civil rights movement and the revolutionary fervour of Free Derry to the bitter conflict at the Garvaghy Road and the Siege of Sarajevo, she has been both a participant in and a witness to history in the making. Writing about it all in her own way, and as nobody else ever could, the force of her passionate pen has won her a place as one of Irelands best-loved journalists. Here are moving accounts of the numbed aftermath of Bloody Sunday; of the lonely death of Ann Lovett in 1984 and of the shock of the Kerry Babies case a year later. And in excerpts from her acclaimed In the Eyes of the Law series we meet Maoists, Hare Krishna monks, wife-beaters and adult consenting males confronting the Dublin District Courts. Taken from sources ranging from The Irish Times, Irish Press and Sunday Tribune, to Hot Press, Kerrys Eye and Magill, Vintage Nell harvests the strange fruits of Irish social and cultural life from the seventies to the twenty-first century. It features classic accounts of the Popes Visit in 1979 and of the dirty protest of women prisoners in Armagh Prison and sympathetic, raw, incisive cameo-portraits of Ian Paisley, Martin McGuinness, Raymond Gilmour, Bishop Casey, Mary Robinson, Winnie Mandela, Mo Mowlam and others. From the serious Reservoir Prods, Chernobyl and The Life and Death of Mary Norris to the witty and satiric Silent Night, Golden Balls and Jukebox (on Elvis) Vintage Nell concludes with a poignant description of her mother Lilys death in December 2004, and showcases the best work of this prodigiously talented writer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
