An Alternative Irish Christmas
€25.00
From Ireland’s foremost independent literary publisher comes an alternative Christmas anthology to happily gift or gratefully receive in the holiday season. This beautiful embossed hardback from Tramp Press features many of Ireland’s most gifted writers, each with their own take on this special time.
When shadows grow longer, when expectation weighs heavy, how do people in Ireland mark Christmas? A woman shops for a very particular Christmas dinner: a man tries to buy a puppy for his daughter: a girl watches as her mother roasts a fowl over an open fire …
From old traditions to the creation of new ones, from moments of quiet reflection to chaos, comedy and even horror, this alternative seasonal collection reflects the stunning breadth of experiences an Irish Christmas offers.
