More about the book

The book provides a compelling examination of intimate relationships in Ireland during the 1960s and 1970s through the lens of Angela Macnamara's advice column in The Sunday Press. It highlights the evolution of dating and marriage, showcasing how women began to redefine intimacy beyond duty to love. The letters reveal societal anxieties as conservative readers grappled with changing views on sexuality and morality. Macnamara is portrayed as both a defender of traditional values and a proponent of modern discussions on sexuality, reflecting broader shifts in Irish society.
