In this beautifully written and searingly honest autobiography, the intrepid cyclist and traveler Dervla Murphy remembers her richly unconventional first thirty years. She describes her determined childhood self - strong-willed and beguiled by books from the first - her intermittent formal education and the intense relationship of an only child with her parents, particularly her invalid mother, whom she nursed until her death. Bicycling fifty miles in a day at the age of eleven, alone, it seems only natural that her first major journey should have been to cycle to India.

Autobiography - Dervla Murphy is a travel writer, recounting her bicycle tours around the world; this is about her early life, much of which was spent as a caregiver for her mother. A newer edition was published in 2010 so may be more expensive to unglue, but worth it.
