PRAISE FOR

Are You Somebody?

“You don’t want the book to end; it glows with compassion

and you want more, more because you know this is a fine

wine of a life, richer as it ages.”

—Frank McCourt

“This book has to be read. One of the most perfectly observed portraits

of female loneliness I’ve ever come across.…O’Faolain brings a spiky,

independent intelligence that vanquishes cliche.”

—Zoe Heller, The New York Times Book Review

“A beautiful exploration of human loneliness and happiness, of

contentment and longing.”

—Alice McDermott, Washington Post Book World

“A lovely memoir that traces the growth of a woman

and her country over the last 50 years.”

—Publishers Weekly

“ ‘I’m not anybody in terms of the world, but then, who decides

what a somebody is? How is a somebody made?’ asks Irish Times columnist O’Faolain. The answer can be found in her moving and painfully honest memoir, a best seller in her native Ireland that deserves as much attention here.”

—Library Journal

“A funny, plainspoken, heartfelt memoir.”

—Elle Magazine

“A lovely and complex mosaic out of the moments that

make up a life as it is being lived.”

—USA Today
