With sharp wit and an unflinching eye, she details the colorful cast of characters — writers, painters, drifters, and dreamers — who passed through their lives in County Cork, capturing a vanished era with warmth and precision. The narrative moves with the ease of a gifted storyteller, balancing personal anecdote with a broader sense of the cultural and political currents of the time. Rich in atmosphere and laced with dry Irish humor, it stands as a compelling record of a life lived fully outside the mainstream, and a testament to the enduring appeal of artistic community and unconventional living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810621206747,"sku":"2026200006940-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/320fbbcf-5c8e-4525-a5c1-46139692ad5e.png?v=1779806129","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006940-secondhand-the-years-of-the-week","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
