Dad - Aubrey Malone - Ballina, Mayo - Irish Memoir & Social History

Dad by Aubrey Malone, a personal portrait of his father, Hugh Dillon-Malone, and the Ireland in which he lived.

Through his father's life, Malone offers a fascinating glimpse of 20th-century Irish society, particularly the changing world of Ballina, Co. Mayo.

The story follows Hugh from his youth in Ballina and student days at Trinity College Dublin to establishing his solicitor's practice in 1938, raising a family and spending his later years in Dublin.

More than a family memoir, the book explores the personalities, attitudes, traditions and social changes of an Ireland that has largely disappeared.

A particularly interesting read for anyone with connections to Ballina or Co. Mayo, or an interest in Irish memoirs, family histories and the everyday social history of modern Ireland.

First published in December 2025.

Excellent unused condition, with no visible signs of reading or wear.

Collection available in Gorey, Co. Wexford, or postage anywhere in Ireland at the buyer's expense.
