Hi Felicity Just finished your book the Library at the end of the World and enjoyed it. I think your sister Mary was in my sister's class in Muckross. Did you go there too? I was brought up on Belmont Avenue and have been an academic librarian all my life. I finished a Ph.D a when I retired and had two local histories published: Donnybrook: A History and Donnybrook Then & Now.
