Barney McKenna - "Banjo Barney from Donnycarney" - was one of the founder-members of the Dubliners, the world-famous Irish folk musicians and singers who in 2002 celebrated forty years on the road as a band. For Dubliners fans, Barney's name immediately conjures up the image of the burly, bearded banjo genius whodazzled the audience with his virtuosity while charming them with his folksy, no-nonsense personality. However, Barney was also well known for another reason: he was capable of bringing any conversation to a sudden stop by uttering something so completely unexpected, and at the same time so incomprehensible, as to reduceeveryone present to a bemused silence. These surreal verbal gems, collected in this book, have become known simply as "Barneyisms".

I must get married, and I will, nineteen-year-old Evelyn decides. It is 1969. Evelyn is pregnant. Around her, the staid values of an older Ireland still rule. "Decently" married, she finds herself beset by doubts about her love for her husband Liam, and the temptations posed by other men. In interlinked stories, we follow Evelyn through her marriage, and the birth of her children, to the break-up of the hard-worked-at union - and into the beginnings of a new relationship. Poignant storytelling from a wonderful writer.
