Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 275 pages. Suddenly, in midlife, there was the possibility of radical change. Whereas the memoir ended with its author reconci led to a peaceful if lonely future, now opportunities opened up, and there were thrilling choices to be made - choices that forced O'Faolain to address the question of how to live a better life h erself and, therefore, of what makes any life better. Almost Ther e begins at the moment when O'Faolain's life began to change, and it both tells the story of a life in subtle, radical, and, above all, unforeseen renewal, and meditates on that story. It is on o ne level a tale of good fortune chasing out bad - of an accidenta l harvest of happiness. But it is also a provocative examination of one woman's experience of the crucible of middle age - a time of life that faces in two directions, forging the shape of the ye ars to come, and clarifying and solidifying one's relationships t o friends and lovers (past and present), family and self.--BOOK J ACKET.

Book Description Paperback. In 1966, a small Irish press approached Nuala O'Faolin, then a writer for The Irish Times, to publish a collection of her opinion columns. She offered to write an introduction to give the opinions a context - to explain the life experience that had shaped this Irish woman's views - and, convinced that none but a few diehard fans of the columns would ever see the book, she took the opportunity to interrogate herself, as fully and candidly as she could, about what she had made of her life. But the introduction, The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman, was discovered, and Are You Somebody? became an international bestseller. It launched a new life for its author at a time when she had long let go of expectations that anything new could dislodge patters of regret and solitude well fixed and too familiar. In Almost There, she begins her story from the moment her life began to change, in all manner of ways - subtle, radical, predictable, and unforeseen. Seller Inventory # 17971666
