Conversations with my Nannie

This warm and funny memoir captures conversations between nine year-old Charlie and his nanny, Cecelia “Carmel” Byrne (born 1933). She shares memories of growing up in Dublin during wartime poverty, life without modern comforts, and the strength of family. The story follows her two marriages, raising 14 children and decades of busy family life. In her later years, she moves in with Charlie’s family in Co Meath, where their special bond becomes the heart of this loving tribute to resilience, humour, and togetherness.
