Where Did They Get You? is the title of a memoir by Bridget P. McDonnell which has just been published by The Manuscript Publisher (ISBN: 978-0-9571157-4-3). It is on sale now in all good bookshops and also online. RRP €12.95.
It recounts the story of one woman’s experiences: from growing up in Ireland in the 1940s and 50s; emigration while still in the prime of her youth; a career in nursing that spanned five decades and which took her to eight countries, as well as travels the length and breadth of the globe. The past, as they say, is another country. This is also the story of the Irish Diaspora and the important, formative yet largely unacknowledged role which they played in the modernisation of Irish society.
