A Place Apart
Murphy, Dervla
ISBN: 0719534763
John Murray London 1978 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardcover 500 g; X, 294 pages, last four pages blank, includes glossary, map, author's note & bibliography. Frontispiece photograph. Colour illustrated dust jacket, price clipped, with a small chip at the top left of the front panel. Minor handling marks to the edges of the text block, otherwise in very good condition. The main theme of this book is the author's attempt to understand why the Northern Irish think, feel and act as they do. As the months passed, the author's genuine sympathy, her mode of travel (a bicycle) and her agnosticism (or open-mindedness) enabled her to gather frank opinions from all shades of Orange and Green. The book is original, balanced and illuminating record of present day Northern Ireland, its difficulties and tensions and the reactions to them of the ordinary people. It is also a corrective to the endless reports of violence and hate. travel -- Ireland Good
