{"product_id":"9781848409286","title":"Wild Atlantic Women : Walking Ireland's West Coast by Grainne Lyons","description":"At a crossroads in her life, Gr?inne Lyons set out to travel Ireland's west coast on foot. She set a simple intention: to walk in the footsteps of eleven pioneering Irish women deeply rooted in this coastal landscape and explore their lives and work along the way. As a Londoner born to Irish parents, she also sought answers in her own identity.   As Gr?inne heads north from Cape Clear Island where her great-grandmother was a lacemaker, she considers Ellen Hutchins, Maude Delap, Edna O'Brien, Granuaile and Queen Maeve among others from her unique perspective. Their homes - in places that are famously wild and remote - are transformed into sites of hope,?purpose, opportunity and inspiration. Walking through this history, her journey reveals unexpected insight into emigrant identity, travelling alone, femininity and the trappings of an `ideal' life.   Against the backdrop and power of this great ocean,?Wild Atlantic Women?will inspire the twenty-first-century reader and walker to keep going, regardless of the path.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43717837127858,"sku":"9781848409286","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781848409286.jpg?v=1708771718","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781848409286","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
