Product Description
What's happening in Ireland? Behind the triumphalist headlines of the boom, there are changes going on that cannot be quantified by statistics nor squared with the hollow cliche of the Celtic Tiger. This text paints a picture the newspapers and tourism propagandists are missing.

How will it end?
The talk 5 years ago was of the "Asian Tiger". At the time, I arrived to live with my family in Malaysia, on the Island of Borneo. There we witnessed as the Tiger turned on the economy and left it struggling to stay afloat. The boom surely affected the peoples of the region, but not everyone's lot was changed for the better. I hope the Celtic Tiger will be kinder to Ireland when it's time comes. Rapid growth can sometimes create veritable chasms between society's already separate economic layers. Anne Marie Hourihane gives us an un-biased picture of first-hand experience though the ideas and (sometimes) idealistic points of view of the people she's talked to. I thoroughly enjoyed reading "She Moves Through the Boom" and the images the author has presented of the changing Ireland which I love so well.
