Eileen O’Casey, married to the great Irish playwright Sean O’Casey, has written a remarkable portrait of her & her husbands intimate friendship with George Bernard & Charlotte Shaw. In these delightfully vibrant memoirs, she’s paid homage to an extraordinary relationship that was cherished by each of these modern literary giants. She gracefully interweaves personal history with a unique portrait of Great Britains cultural life in the 1st half of the century. Here’s a treasure trove of celebrated W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Barry Fitzgerald, T.E. Lawrence, Eugene ONeill etc.
