Echoes in Green: The Big Yellow Sun

This nostalgic memoir tells the story of Edward Forde Hickey as he was growing up in the idyllic wilds of Tipperary in Ireland with his beloved Grandma and other children whilst his parents were living in London and enduring bombings from the Second World War.
We experience the cultural norms of pig killing, climbing trees for fun, and the hard-working inhabitants in the fields. You really get a good feel for country living, and who Grannie is, and the influence she had on Edward's first five years of life.
A great historical, cultural and social reflection of rural life in Tipperary.
