Description

Two Dry Sods - Tales From Old Mayo is an autobiography that recounts Joe Coen's childhood in rural County Mayo during the 1940s. Set against the backdrop of a challenging and colourful way of life, the book shares stories of the sounds, smells and memories of a passing generation.

The author's account offers a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary people who squeezed a frugal living from poor land, relying on community and hard work to survive. From open turf fireplaces to horse-drawn carts, Coen's story is a moving and often humorous portrayal of a bygone era.
