Cures from the Hollow

For two years, Sarah has spent travelling the length and breadth of Cavan and the surrounding counties, interviewing people who have 'the cure' and asking what does it mean to have ancient tradition in modern Ireland.

 Who are these people with cures? How did they get their cure? Why do they make it? Can they pass it on? 

This book is an intimate insight of this two year journey.
