Honest funny heartfelt. I loved it'' Cathy Kelly Clear-eyed touching forthright and funny In My Mother''s Shoes is Alison Walsh''s delightful account of three generations of mothers - her Nana leading light of the Irish Countrywomen''s Association indomitable in all things except deferring to her husband; her mother whose glamorous career as a 1960s air hostess was cut cruelly short by the simple act of getting married; and Alison herself a modern woman whose life would not be thwarted by such lack of choice. Or would it? ''Cheerful intelligent funny and shockingly sensible. Buy it. Read it. Pass it on. '' Judith O''Reilly author of Wife in the North ''Honest and immensely readable. many mothers will find themselves nodding along in recognition. I will be passing it on and - more tellingly - looking for it back'' Sunday Business Post ''Yay for Alison Walsh .
