In 1993, aged twenty, Carmel Mc Mahon left Ireland for New York,
carrying $500, two suitcases and a ton of unseen baggage. It took
years, and a bitter struggle with alcohol addiction, to unpick the
intricate traumas of her past and present. Candid yet lyrical, In
Ordinary Time mines the ways that trauma reverberates through time
and through individual lives, drawing connections to the events and
rhythms of Ireland's long Celtic, early Christian and Catholic
history. From tragically lost siblings to the broader social scars
of the Famine and the Magdalene Laundries, Mc Mahon sketches the
evolution of a consciousness from her conservative 1970s upbringing
to 1990s New York, and back to the much-changed Ireland of today.
