The Island of the White Cow: Memories of an Irish Island

by Professor Deborah Tall

  

€ 16.99 

ISBN: 9780689707223

In 1972, Deborah Tall, then a student in her final year at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, went to live on the island of Inishbofin where she would spend the next five years. Her experiences are chronicled in this book, first published in 1986 and now a fascinating record of a vanished way of life. -- "Few of us have the chance to realize a dream. For Deborah Tall, chance took the shape of a wild Celtic professor who whisked her off to find passion and her poetic self on a barely inhabited lump of rock just off the west coast of Ireland. 'The Island of the White Cow' tells us the story of that time and of the lives that Miss Tall, her lover and the islanders made for themselves on its rocky and inhospitable shores." -- New York Times Book Review.
