Dialann Emily Porter: An Jailtacht - Leabhar Mhí an Mheithimh 2019 / Book of the Month - June 2019

[English version below] Bhí plean déanta ag Emily Porter dá laethanta saoire samhraidh i 1994; bhí sí chun fanacht sa leaba go dtí meán lae agus an chuid eile den lá a chaitheamh lena cara is fearr, Olivia. Ach i ngan fhios di, bhí plean eile ag a tuismitheoirí. Plean cruálach. Plean gránna. Plean díoltasach… Bhí Emily le cur in aghaidh a tola, chuig Coláiste Samhraidh sa Ghaeltacht – nó An Jailtacht mar a thug Emily air! Láithreoir: Seán Ó Catháin Aíonna: Lisa Nic an Bhreithimh agus Ciara Ní Éanacháin [Leagan Gaeilge thuas] History is written by heroines who took bold stands against their oppressors in the name of justice. From Joan of Arc to Emmeline Pankhurst, from Rosa Parks to me, Emily Porter. This is the story of how, in the Summer of 1994, I stood up against my Oppressors (my parents) and how I came out the other side a changed person. It’s a tale of a lost teenager, of lost innocence, and a lost pair of white Pepe jeans (I’m not too worried about the innocence but I really miss those jeans).
