Errislannan, or Flannan's peninsula, on the west coast of Ireland, near Galway, was the home of Alannah Heather (1901-1992) and it gave shape to her life, work, and this book. She describes a childhood and landscape peopled by cottagers and fisherfolk, islanders, and evangelicals, and a richly eccentric body of relatives. Her career as an artist took her to Slade and London, to Sark in the Channel Islands, and painterly excursions to Bruges and Budapest. The voice in this book is immediate, affectionate, and unobtrusive-the narrative, illuminated by shards of memory, restores a personal and collective past.
