If you'd like to read a nice feel-good collection of stories set in yesteryear Ireland, then several of these are not for you.
Life's not all warm and fuzzy, it can be difficult, even cruel at times. Reminiscing is like that, but between the stories are some lighter musings, and hopefully the odd chuckle.
Several stories are connected, and some in this collection have been published in England, the US, and Canada.
