Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Is it possible to be young, progressive and a Catholic? Ellen Coyne is about to find out You know, this isnt a Catholic country anymore, someone proudly declared in a Dublin pub where Ellen Coyne was celebrating the repeal of the Eighth Amendment. About to turn 30, like many her age, Ellen had left the Church a long time ago, but she had never stopped believing in and talking to God. Now, she suddenly realised she wasnt quite ready for this statement to be true, however much of a contradiction it seemed to present with some of her most strongly held views. Abandoning the Church had been an act of protest, a form of punishment. However, she began to wonder: who had really lost the most? Why should those who did the damage to the Church get to keep it and all its good bits, like going to Mass for the ritual and the community, having a clear guide for living a better life, and the comfort of believing its not the end when somebody dies? But how could she ally herself to an institution she doesnt entirely agree with? In her first book, Ellen tries to figure out how much she really wants to go back to the Church, and if it is even the right thing to do. A stunningly intelligent and thoughtful debut work of non-fiction. Get ready this is going to inspire a thousand conversations across Ireland about the role of the Church in our society and our future. Louise ONeill I flew through this on a will she, wont she? knife-edge, all the while questioning my own attitude to faith and spirituality. Emer McLysaght Sings with sincerity this is the book the church doesnt know it needs for its own survival. Justine McCarthy The writing is clear, unadorned and easy to understand. And all the better for it: this is a book that deserves to not just be read, but to be a galvanising force. My hope is that it will start a revolution. Caroline ODonoghue, Irish Independent Review The book is fascinating. It is so well written. Its really interesting. Louise McSharry, 2FM Im not sure I can think of anyone out there who will be on board with everything in this book. That might be its best quality. It will get people talking. Coyne does things her own way and doesnt (excuse the blasphemy) give a blessed damn. Niamh Donnelly, The Irish Times THIS is the book Ive been waiting for!!!

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Despite being the world's most reluctant Irish dancing correspondent, Ellen Coyne has done a remarkable job delving into the murky world of feis fixing. Dirty Dancing is a fascinating expose on the history and crazy controversies behind one of Ireland's greatest cultural assets and exports. Irish dancing has become part of Ireland's soft power thanks to the success of Riverdance, but it has been dogged by scandals involving sex, lies and feis fixing. Coyne hits all the right beats in what is a cautionary tale for those who might find themselves becoming an overzealous pushy parent of an Irish dancer." Mark Tighe From the outside, Irish dancing seems like a wholesome world of dazzling costumes, intricate footwork and groomed hair. The sport and art form, made world-famous by the smash hit Riverdance, is an instantly recognisable part of Irish culture. But when we pull back the curtain, we discover that Irish dancing also has a dark side Following a whistle-blower email, journalist Ellen Coyne found herself plunged into the cut-throat side of competitive Irish dancing. What Ellen discovered, and reveals in extensive and explosive detail, is that the picture-perfect world of Irish dancing has operated for years within a toxic environment of bitter rivalries, allegations of competition fixing accusations and even more serious rumours that swirl around some of the most high-profile dancing competitions in the world. From feis fixing to false allegations, why are the dancehalls across this island such a hotbed for malicious conspiracy? And what next for a world steeped in tradition and global success yet mired in controversy? From the outside, Irish dancing seems like a wholesome world of dazzling costumes, intricate footwork and groomed hair. But when we pull back the curtain, we discover that Irish dancing also has a dark side Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
