Summary

The unforgettable true story behind Sunday Times best-selling memoir Finding Tipperary Mary.

A brutal and touching account of the life of Bridget ’Tipperary Mary’ Larkin. She faced poverty, bereavement, cruelty and abandonment many times over - yet never lost the heart to pursue true love. Returning to rural Ireland in 1938 and a young girl full of hope and expectation, A Song for Bridget recounts a series of tragic events that eventually bring her to Manchester and Birmingham - and a desperate daily struggle to survive. Bridget’s haunting story, told in the words of her daughter, is a perfect example of both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit.

Tipperary Mary

Loved this book. As Phylis said she was a poor damaged soul. So glad without her knowing but I secretly think she did she spent the last nine years getting to know her.
