Are You Somebody? : The Accidental Memoir of a Dublin Woman

I just wasn't as captivated by this book as I wanted to be. Well-written, but rather dry, and the events did not seem to justify a book. It's nice to hear the Irish woman's voice, instead of the constant Irish man's paean to Mom (who was too damned busy to dwell on her own life, and didn't have the time to write it down herself). Still, I prefer those to this one. It wasn't unpleasant to read, but I didn't find it very satisfying.
