Home truths: Granny knew how to save the planet on the home front

Talking about saving the planet? I once knew a suburban Dublin couple whose diet consisted substantially of fruit and veg grown in their back garden. Much of the meat they ate was game, shot by the husband in the field (definitely not vegan). Rabbit, pheasant, wild duck, pigeon and the like. They kept chickens at the end of their suburban garden for eggs and the occasional Sunday roast. The rooster woke them (and their neighbours) in the mornings.

‘The first time,” Aoibhin Garrihy says of motherhood, “you cling to the part of yourself that’s familiar, and, to me, that was getting up and getting out and being a do-er. And I was holding on to that. I was a person who was always on the go, a busy body. I didn’t want motherhood to change that. I held on to that the first time around.

Book Reviews

Highfire: Eoin Colfer's debut novel for adults leaves this reviewer scratching his head

It's hard to know what to make of Highfire, the debut book for adults from Eoin Colfer. On one level it's a sort of pastiche of - or tribute to - the freewheeling, funny, picaresque crime capers of American writers such as Carl Hiaasen or, in his more whimsical moods, Elmore Leonard. On a whole other level, the book has a dragon for a central character.
