A very poor choice for teenagers. The book is an important cultural legacy appropriate for an older audience.
As we mentioned on the #podcast, the book was likely edited with a heavy hand and apparently captures little of the woman's spirit which was by other accounts quite different. Apparently the real #Peig was funny and great #craic
Fin Dwyer did a good two part series on Peig which is worth a listen

Women are all too often overlooked in history. The Daughters of Dun Iascaigh, written by the Cahir Womens History Group, addresses this imbalance by profiling the lives of over 20 women from this Tipperary town. The book highlights some fascinating but previously overlooked stories. In this podcast I interview three contributors Josephine O'Neill, Maurice Casey and Annette Condon who reveal intriguing stories about rebels, nuns and revolutionaries from Cahir in the last century.
