Description
On the Land is a memoir by Eileen O’Casey that chronicles her family’s life in the Devon countryside after they moved there in 1938. This book, which serves as a continuation of her earlier memoir Sean, details her life with her husband, the renowned Irish playwright Sean O’Casey, as they built a home and integrated themselves into the rural community. It provides a touching account of their day-to-day existence, the upbringing of their children, and the challenges and joys of their simple life away from the hustle of London’s theatrical world. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the English landscape and offers a unique, intimate perspective on the personal life of a major literary figure and the resilience of a family adapting to a new way of life.
