Ballylin: Memories of Life in a Small Irish Village
Joan Comiskey grew up in the house attached to her grandmother’s pub/grocery in a small rural village in southern Ireland in the 1930s.

Written in a style that captures the innocence, insights, and endurance of youth, the stories reveal the “specialness†in the mundane and the significance in the “insignificant,†touching, however subtly, heart, mind, and soul.
