"'Having memories of somewhere that no longer exists is a bit like watching dead actors in old movies.' So begins this brilliant new memoir about growing up in Ballymun in the seventies and eighties. The regeneration of the estate means that Ballymun in its original form has gone forever, but Lynn Connolly who lived there as a child and young adult recalls the place with warmth and affection. Like lots of other people, she looks back fondly on her time in Ballymun - on how she became the person that she couldn't have become living anywhere else." "Ballymun had a quality of its own, it had sparkle and wit and an undeniable sense of community - in spite of how the media portrayed it. Neighbours kept an eye out for the children, children who are now adults with magical memories of CB radios, dangerous games and loyal friends. Lynn Connolly writes from the perspective of a Ballymunner, not as someone reporting for the newspapers. The story comes alive as it follows the development of a person - herself - being formed in a context which she recalls with affection, gratitude and warmth."--BOOK JACKET.
