Silent

Nuala O'Faolain (1940 – 9 May 2008) was an Irish journalist, TV producer, book reviewer, teacher and author. She became internationally well-known for her two volumes of memoir,
Are You Somebody? and
Almost There, a novel,
My Dream of You, and a history with commentary,
The Story of Chicago May. The first three were all featured on the New York Times Best Seller list.

A rare gift for saying the unsayable in the most entertaining of ways

Nuala O'Faolain: Appreciation by Marian Finucane

Above all else, Nuala was a friend - a fantastic and wonderful one. She was godmother to my daughter, and no matter what part of the world she was in she always came back for her anniversary.

We first met when I was doing a radio programme about convent school education on RTE's Women Today. It was being recorded at the producer's flat, and we just clicked.

A great woman, may she rest in peace.
