Set in London in 1983, 'Diary of an Irish Mother' offers a snapshot into the hectic life of Vera Byrne. Her daily struggle to hold everything together, bringing up three difficult teenagers, going to work, a DIY nightmare, a 'lazy' husband, car trouble ... and the list goes on. Never a dull moment and a lot of laughs along the way.
Following last year's bestselling collection of interviews from the RTE TV series The Meaning of Life, Gay Byrne is back with more big questions - and more interesting answers.
