Three other books I enjoyed since my blog on the 5th December were:<\/p>\n
Handbook of the Irish Revival (Eds Declan Kiberd and PJ Mathews): An Anthology of Irish Cultural and Political Writings, 1891-1922
\nA beautifully produced book by the Abbey Theatre Press.
\nLet’s hope there will be a sequel bringing it up to the present <\/p>\n
Models for Movers: Irish Women’s Emigration to America (Ide B O’Carroll) Dublin: The Making of a Capital City (David Dickson) a 700 page panoramic sweep of my native city, authoritative and well researched, probably one of the best books on Dublin.<\/p>\n What books did you enjoy in 2015?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three other books I enjoyed since my blog on the 5th December were: Handbook of the Irish Revival (Eds Declan Kiberd and PJ Mathews): An Anthology of Irish Cultural and Political Writings, 1891-1922 A beautifully produced book by the Abbey…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1908"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1912,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions\/1912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameslawless.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nInteresting true stories, overlapping some of the material in my novel American Doll<\/em>, about how 9\/11 opened a Pandora’s box on an Irish\/American family, as yet unpublished.<\/p>\n
