Memoir - it's a collection of stories of what it was like growing up in rural Ireland before modernisation took over. I'm not even 40 yet but I can remember the first telephone coming to our house, going to school in a building with no electricity or running water, and being nearly self-sufficient in food and fuel. When I tell kids these stories now, they don't believe me - a world without smart-phones and mobile internet is unimaginable to them. Yet that's the way it was growing up only a few short years ago.
