Wild Atlantic women : walking Ireland's West Coast

Lyons, Gráinne2024
Books, Manuscripts
In 2019, at a crossroads in her own life, Gráinne Lyons decided to travel the Wild Atlantic Way on foot. Inspired by her great-grandmother who was a lacemaker on Cape Clear Island, Gráinne began her journey with an intention: to walk in the footsteps of other women deeply rooted in this Atlantic landscape and explore their lives along the way. Writing with emotional honesty about the challenges and vulnerabilities of travelling alone, Gráinne asks what we can learn from these pioneering women and looks anew at Irish identity.
