Description
An Old Woman's Reflections by Peig Sayers is a unique and poignant account of the author's life, drawing on her own experiences of everyday events and the tragedies that shaped her world.
From the daily routines of seal catching and turf collection to the devastating news of drownings at sea and the 1916 revolution in Dublin City, Sayers' reminiscences offer a rare glimpse into the oral Gaelic tradition.
This first edition, published in 1978, is a valuable record of a significant part of Ireland's social history, offering a personal and intimate perspective on the struggles and triumphs of a remarkable woman.
