Best memoir from the Irish War for Independence
The title refers, as English reminds us, not to (as Gerry Adams propounded) the slogan that one generation's freedom fighters must rise up upon the fallen bodies of a previous generation's failed fighters to seek victory, but to the fact that it's easy to withhold pity when someone else is doing the bleeding and the dying. As a medical student before the 1916 Rising, O'Malley knew this to be more ...

The Gift of Our Compulsions: A Revolutionary Approach to Self-Acceptance and Healing

New World Library, 2004

The best I've found
This is the best book on the topic of compulsions that I have ever seen. What impressed me the most were some simple and quick to do exercises that, simply put, have worked every time I've taken the 30 seconds or so to do them. Frankly I'm amazed at the power of this book. I met the author briefly after a lecture she gave, and I give her an even higher recommendation than the book. She's ...

a truely british play with irish comedy
firstly when i was handed this book from my theatre teacher i was quite daunted by it, how wrong could i have been. I fell in love with mooney and gallegher and mcginty in an instint, and so much that i took on the character of mary gallagher for myself in my practical piece. Nevertheless the comedy arises from the oh-so-funny nuns which bring me back to my old school days. trying to read this ...

Liturgical Press, 2000

Dramatic monologue based Way of the Cross
We Were There is a Way of the Cross based upon the Scriptural Stations rather than the traditional stations. Its introduction states that this version tries to invoke participation through imagination, using the characters of the stations as mirrors in which we recognize ourselves. The format of the stations uses a traditional refrain to introduce the stations, a scriptural readings, a ...

By a women, for women who have had to struggle.
O Malley's book takes a brave look at the hardship Irish mothers endured through folowing the unenlightened teachings of the Catholic church. There was no room for grieving in the overpacked cottages for enfants that died, unbabtised and so barred from burial in sacred ground.She explores her childhood in the west of Ireland and is influenced by years spent in Portugal.

N. Higgins, 1982

An excellent read. Fascinating and engaging.
There are very few books that deal with local history in Dublin (Ireland) that manage to bring the reader through such a strong journey of discovery. This book takes you from first bricks laid to the end of the twentieth century, tracing the influences and occupants that went to make a grand Irish house a great Irish home for over 5 generations. Lios-An-Uisce is without a doubt an historic ...

Where the Rocks Float (Salmon Poetry)

Mary O'Malley

Poolbeg Press, 1993

Magnificent
I'd never heard of this author until, on a recent visit to Ireland, I literally bumped into a pile of her books in a bookshop in Galway. I picked up a volume that had fallen to the floor, read a few pages, and fell in love. Her writing is concise, vivid, and full of powerful imagery, while her language is still accessible to the average reader. It does help to know a little Irish history: ...

The Knife in the Wave (Salmon Poetry)

Mary O'Malley

Salmon Publishing Ltd, 1997

The Knife in the Wave
Mary O'Malley moves from the clear topography of her last collection, Where the Rocks Float, to probe the underwater world prefigured in her long poem sequence 'The Cave' from that collection. She does this by a process of inversion as 'The Seal Woman' struggles through her agonising journey from one element to another, entering the mythos to explore the nature of the poet's condition. In 'Ms. ...
