The book is notable for its blend of travel writing and social commentary, employing a keenly observant narrative style that invites readers into the heart of Ireland's cultural landscape. Linton deftly examines various facets of Irish society, from its landscapes and folklore to its political nuances, all while embedding her personal experiences as an English visitor, thereby challenging preconceived notions and providing a nuanced perspective on the Irish identity amid contemporary socio-political dynamics. E. Lynn Linton was a prominent novelist and essayist whose life experiences significantly influenced her work. Born in England and living in a period marked by the complexities of British-Irish relations, her interactions with Irish culture and her evolution as a literary voice helped shape her understanding of national character and belonging.

This compelling exploration is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of travel, culture, and literature. Linton's articulate prose and incisive reflections not only enlighten the reader about Ireland's multifaceted identity but also spark a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experience across borders. Readers will find themselves both informed and engaged, making Linton's work a valuable contribution to Irish studies and travel literature.

    New York, Summer of 1965. 
     
     
     
    One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
     
     
     
    Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
     
     
     
    But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.
