The Beauty in the Broken

Qty

€ 15.00

ISBN: 9781068361548

From the opening title poem The Beauty in the Broken with its line ‘where she stitched a seam…as silver as the moon…across my chest’ to the detailed observations in prose of Limerick life, I was hooked on Cora Peters’ debut publication. It is a deeply insightful and moving memoir about her childhood, family, education, the people who mattered to her and the place (warts an’ all) which gave us this most extraordinary and humane voice.
— John Liddy, poet and writer.
