Description - Did Your Mother Come from County Mayo by Anne Marie Ryan

"Did your Grandmother come from the County Mayo?" is a charming semi-autobiographical novel, combining restfulness with drama, and humour with compassion. In a series of vividly-drawn anecdotal episodes, Miss Ryan describes the events of her childhood during the evening of the British Empire. From the perspective of the daughter of an army family, her account is set against the backdrop of the temporary peace of the inter-war years in Britain and Ireland, culminating in the experiences of a young woman living and working in London during World War Two. A personal social history of ordinary folk living in extraordinary times.
