From the back cover:
BERNADETTE DEVLIN’s
book tells two stories:
The story of
‘the real flesh-and-blood Bernadette’
‘If you eat up all the bread at teatime,
there won’t be anything for breakfast ...’
She tells the story of personal ‘bottom-level’ poverty, of her combined struggle to go to university and to look after her orphaned brothers and sisters ... of how she became involved in Civil Rights, and what happened when her people chose her as their MP ...
