About this product

Product Information

Are You Somebody is a moving and fascinating portrait of both Ireland and one of its most popular and respected commentators. This gem of honesty and insight had its first life as the introduction to a collection of Nuala O'Faolain's Irish Times columns that became a number-one bestseller in Ireland. It now stands alone. Ireland has fallen in love with this memoir of an Irish woman of letters, and now this country will too.

A disappointment
I love anything by an Irish writer and was really looking forward to reading this book; however, I was disappointed. I did not mind the anecdotal nature of the memoir, but I thought the writing style was not smooth and the thread of the story was very fragmented. The writer jumps around in time so much that it is difficult to really see the progression of her life and how she came to be the person she is now. I didn't find as much introspection as I had hoped, either. Famous writers, artists and composers are thrown around without much commentary and it seems as if O'Faolain just wants to show off her intellectual bent. Not a great read at all. I was very disappointed.

Could not finish..........
Her childhood was compelling to read. But then as she got older, the rambling began...... I loved her novel and that was why I ordered her memoir.

book was interesting but hard to follow...didn't grab my attention consistently. I found it difficult to pick up and read again...didn't know Irish places and couldn't relate well to the characters.

If you are an Irish woman...read this
I am an American woman who lived in Dublin from 1973-1974--just barely 21. Nuala O'Faolain writes of that time as l rcall it too: women just getting their feet under them as a down lrish economy was trying to get its feet under itself. I loved her honest telling of her groping desperate life experience. Of the mess of her home life and the mercy she found for herself and others over time. But not for the predations of the Irish Catholic Church. This brave book is well worth the time even if you are not so familiar with the places and people she talks about. It is the basic human stuff that gripped me.
