Nuala O'Faolain - R.I.P.

Nuala O'Faolain, an Irish journalist who mined a rich vein of longing and childhood suffering in two midlife memoirs and an acclaimed first novel, "My Dream of You," died on Friday night in Dublin. She was 68 and lived in Barrtra, County Clare, Ireland, and Manhattan.

I absolutely adored her memoir "Are You Somebody?", but never made it through her first novel. Perhaps I will give it another go.

Is í féin atá ag teacht anois.
