Critics Review
In her new book When I Was Your Age, Valerie Cox explores the role of grandparents, and talks to some well-known faces and others with less public lives about the special bond they can bring to modern family * Irish Mail On Sunday *
The book is full of tender reminiscences from across the country, along with revelations on what truly matters in life. You could call it a collective heirloom, maybe a time capsule for the future * Ireland’s Own *
