About this book

Household chores and the care of young children provide the starting point for Doireann Ni Ghriofa's reflections on women's lives and writing. A daily routine of feeding, cleaning and school runs becomes material for examining work that constantly needs doing again. This memoir combines intimate domestic observation with questions about how women's experience finds expression in language.
