Nuala OFaolains' first memoir, published by New Island Books in 1996, became a literary sensation and an international bestseller. It marked a new chapter in her life, as she had given up on hopes of anything new changing her patterns of regret and solitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost There, OFaolains pioneering work of literary memoir, begins at the moment when her life began to transform. It unfolds the story of a life in subtle, radical, and unforeseen renewal, portraying a tale of good fortune chasing out bad and an accidental harvest of happiness. However, it also delves into a provocative examination of one woman's experience of the 'crucible of middle age,' a time of life that faces two directions, shapes the years to come, and clarifies and solidifies relationships with friends, lovers, family, and self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her final memoir, Almost There, OFaolains chronicles the pursuit of artistic and personal integrity and what it means to be a woman in contemporary society. With her signature style and raw candidness, she shares her experiences and insights, offering a powerful and relatable narrative that resonates with readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 350g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 129 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781848408678\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuala O'Faolain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100102521082,"sku":"9781848408678","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1661574358427_book.jpg?v=1661717913","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/almost-there-the-onward-journey-of-a-dublin-woman-9781848408678","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
