Gortagannive', the Sandy Gardens, is the name of the farm where Irene McInerney grew up, in the Parish of Kilmaley, in the west of Ireland in County Clare, during the 1960s and 70s. This memoir, Down by the Sandy Gardens, is the first of a three-part series. Set amidst nature at its best is a bold account of a painful past. Under the shadow of a fanatical mother who dominates the household, Irene grows up quickly. At fourteen she falls madly in love with a local man more than twice her age, causing a parish scandal. Forced apart, they reconnect when Irene is nineteen, but their love affair is thwarted by a jealous friend. Irene joins the corporate world, moving to the city, where she meets a man her mother would regard as an ideal husband. However, he has his own demons, and eventually the relationship has tragic consequences for Irene. Will she be able to recover and resume a normal life? In this memoir, Irene opens the door on the most painful and difficult episodes of her life, set against the fascinating background of the Irish culture of the day.
