A selection of wide ranging essays from the passionate and original journalist and writer, Nuala O'Faolain drawn from nonfiction written between 1980 and her untimely death in 2008.

A recent UK reviewer wrote of the collected columns: "O'Faolain was never too concerned with the humdrum of the latest controversy. Instead, she excelled at making the everyday radiant. Her subjects were shopping, ageing, praying, friends, the death of a beloved dog, going on holiday or visiting the dentist and, always, men and women, and how they interact."
