Synopsis
Learning to be Irish showcases the best new and collected writings of a child of Irish migrants. Raised in Surrey in the 1960s and '70s, 'the filling in the sandwich' of a family of five children, Maria C. McCarthy dances to Irish showbands, learns rebel songs at an uncle's knee, hears home truths, half-truths and white lies from the women that gather in her mother's kitchen, and learns to be English after the IRA bombs two pubs in Guildford. Learning to be Irish is a search for identity, a chronicle of a lost generation, and a yearning for truths that may never be known.
