5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent piece of recent history,
By John McCarthy (Maynooth, Co.Kildare Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Another Country: Growing Up in the 50s Ireland (Paperback)
I picked up this book while waiting at Dublun Airport, and at a cursory glance, saw that this told the real story of Dublin in the 50's. It was just like reading the story of my own childhood. The prejudices, the puritanical "straight-laced" attitudes, which were designed to turn out designer kids... models of the establishment which needed an easy means to control and protect its own environment. However, to say that it is a depressing book would not be true, as the mischevious traits of the young characters proved that the supression of their individuality and personality was a lost cause from the beginning.
