Sobre IBD

Spanning no less than five generations, this is the story of a Midleton-born nurse who rises to the top of her profession in the 1960s before marriage to a carpet salesman in Clery’s sees her having to leave her job and become a fulltime mother. Tragedy mixes with comedy as tales of marital breakdown and a bullying matron mix with nights on the town and days on ever-changing wards as the health service goes through various transitions and she does her best to acclimatise herself to them. Allied with her attempts to juggle her career with the demands of a challenging home life resides a bittersweet tale of love and loss as the winsome world of her parents gives way to a harsher one where family values are threatened by the addiction problems of her husband and daughter. Behind it all is her unmarried aunt who hides a heartbreaking secret that flies in the face of the morals of the time.

  • HOLLYWOOD WIT
    Aubrey Malone
    Tom Hanks once said he couldn’t give a speech to save his life. Bereft of the fed line, his confidence crumbled. As against that, the effusions in the book you’re now holding manifest a natural wit in most of the speakers. Indeed, if the lines in most of their films were half as good, they might have had even more thriving careers. One is reminded of Sydney Chaplin’s comment...
