Clouds On My Windows - Tapa blanda

May O'Brien was 15 in 1947 when she started to work in Liberty Hall, the dark and down-at-heel union headquarters that sat brooding beside the river Liffey. Life was a struggle for May and her family, and she was glad to be able to contribute financially. After her first three months in the job, as the book ends, she reflects that she's learnt a lot from her union colleagues since she entered Liberty Hall as an impressionable school leaver.
