Comrades Summary

Comrades: A Lifetime of Friendships by Rosita Boland

'I was fascinated, moved and entertained by every page. This is the kind of book the world needs right now' DONAL RYAN
_______________

'My dictionary's first two definitions of 'comrade' are:

A close companion.
An intimate associate or friend.

The third one is:
A fellow soldier.

My friends have been all those things to me.'

In this stunning essay collection, award-winning journalist Rosita Boland explores the many friendships that have shaped her life. Surprising and beautiful, she writes about the imaginary friends of early childhood, books that have provided companionship and joy, kindred spirits met while travelling, the friend she hoped might become something more, and also the friendships that become lost over time.

Life-affirming, affecting and wise, Comrades is a powerful exploration of what it is to live, to connect, and to be human in this world.

'An absorbing journey along life's tracks and trails.' THE SUNDAY TIMES IRELAND

'A moving, beautiful and deeply felt meditation on friendship, loyalty and connectedness in a disconnected world' HILARY FANNIN

Comrades Reviews

'Fascinating and warm-hearted essay collection...a moving meditation on friendship and the deep-seated need to find and retain human connections.' * IRISH INDEPENDENT *
'Boland says she endeavours as a journalist to be as empathetic, responsible and ethical as possible. Comrades is an exceptional example of all three. She writes with a lightness of touch and robust integrity. Reading her book has been an immensely enjoyable experience, like getting into a bubble bath that's the perfect temperature. It's one that I will re-read and give as a gift to many friends of my own.' * Irish Times *
'Comrades is a wonderfully constructed, moving and honest book.' * PATRICK FREYNE *
'Chatty, thoughtful and entertaining - an absorbing journey along life's tracks and trails.' * THE SUNDAY TIMES IRELAND *
'A gift of a book.' * THE GLOSS *
